PREFACE. 



A large proportion of the niAterlal m this volume' Was 
\ collected in comiection with the contents of the history of 
\ the iiish Setfcleiuent cliiiicli, published in 1816. It being 
, . f-^nni impracticable to incorporate it with that work, the 
author has amplified and added much theieto, and now pre- 
■\ sents it, as it is hoped, in a form more interesting and satis- 
factory. The aim in this volume has been to collect, fr 
all sources available to the author, such suitable private : 
* ords and matters of history, as would throw light upon 

' Irish Settlement and its people.^%'By preserving such 'icatfe- 
3 rial in this form it "was hoped to perpetuate tlie meiuory 6f 
j' the Settlement when that particular class of people v^ho 
-J- liave given it its characLeiistics and name, shall have ceased 
to reside within its bounds. Aside from what we have cfb- 
tained fi-om published works, much material has heen 
furnis':ed by the descendants and friends of the Irish Settle- 
o.....%.'?)ent people In regard to tliis material we would say we 
liave acted more the part of the editor thain the 'author.' ' If 
mistakes are found, we tvould have them referred to the' au- 
thors of the material rather than to us, as we have had no 
1 means of rectifying the mistakes of onr iiiformants. Where 

there have been conflicting statements, coming from diftfcrent 
I sources, we have usually given both, and, leftf^the reader to 



J 



Jh^efnce. 



-^cide for himself upon the scerits of the case. Perhaps 
some, under whose eye tliese pages may fall, may be disposed 
to aay that they could have given fuller and more accurate 
information upon certain points. This is just what we 
would have been glad to receive, and for which purpose we 
«ent out a large number of circulars to all persons known to 
us who, as we thought, could give us information. We have 
made the best of all the material secured by such means. If 
any friends have failed to furnish us with the material 
which they may have possessed, we are sorry for ourselves 
and for the interests'of the Irish Settlement history, but we 
cannot help the matter. 

With ree.»rd to the construction of the Genealogies we 
would say:- The first ra.ne of the individual only is gitven 
in each genealogy, the last name being understood. When 
a female member of the connection lUarnes, further refvi- 
«nce to her will be found under the fam.ily uamft^-of^ her 
husband. The names in the geneal6gy are numbered 
consecutively as they appear, and such numbers are used 
<)nly in connection with these names. When the nimi- 
ber of a name is noted, run down the left side of the 
page^ and references to the name will be found preceded by 
the appropriate number. As material was constantly com- 
ing in whilst the work was going through the press, fuller 
information on certain points will be found in the Reminis- 
cences, Appendix, and Addenda, than is given in connection 
with the same points in the Genealogies. Had the informa- 
tioa reached us in time, we would have inserted it in its 
appropriate place. 

In order to make the whole work more available for ref- 
erence, an index, ccmtaining all the family names, with the 
places where they are found, is appended.

Craigs. Although we have made special 
efforts to secure a genealogy of this family, we 
have not obtained sufficient material upon 
which to attempt it. 

"James Craig had three sons: William, 
Thomas, and Robert. The former took an ac- 
tive part in the division of Bucks county, and 
was elected the first Sheriff of Northampton 
county. * * • 

"Thomas Craig (first) was the owner of five 
hundred acres, and ninety-six perches^ g^nted 
to him by Caspar Wistar, March 28th, 1739; 
his residence was on the farm now owned by 
Dr. H. H. Riegel. In June, 1773, he deeded 
one hundred and fifty-five acres to AndrfeW 
Hagenbuch, of Berks county. General Thomas 



361. Geneafoyks. 

Craig and Captain John Craig were sons of 
'l^hbirias Craig, and" both served as officers dur 
ring the Revolutionary War. The former 
served as Colonel of tlie Third Pennsylvania 
Regiment, and Brigj I die.i'G-eneraT; * * 
'r "He died at Allentowii, Lehigh county, Jan- 
uary 20tli,- 1832; ^wh?fii-ntpwards of ninety-two 
years of age; and wan buried with military and 
masonic honors. , * * * 

"John. Craig was commissioned December 
2nd, 1778, and served as Captain in the Fourth 
Regiment Pennsylvania Light Dragoons, and : 
was pronounced by Gen. Washington, the best 
horseman in the army. From 1793 to 1796 he 
was Sheriff' of Northampton county." : 

His. Northampton Co., 1877, p. 239. 

It-seems Thomas and 2 James Craig were 
the principal settlers in the Irish Settlement, 
going thither from Phil'ain seventeen hundred 
and tw^enty-eight. Their property was near 
the old original church building near Weavers- 
ville. . Thomas had a. sister 

3 Jime, who married .5 John Boyd. See, 
yH^oma*, seems to Jiave been an Elder in the 
church.. Benj. Franklin writing to Gov. Mor- 
ris,- speaks of "Elder Craig" from the Irish Set- 
tlement. Among the, Elders present at the 
meeting- of the Synod of Philadelphia, Septem- 
ber fifteenth, seventeen hundred and thirty-one, 
w£^8 Thomas Craig. . ; >s^ 

uu'a 

i 



We supposej the Thomas .Craig of the Settle-? 
-ment and these are identicai. 

He was one of the original CommissionerB 
appointed at the erection of Northampton 
County, to purchase the site for, and erect the 
Court House and Jail, at JEaston, Penu'a. 

He was also one of the first Justices , pf ^th^ 
Countv. His wife ^ ' " ' ^ ^^ 

5 Mary Craig, died '9fu1^j^'*'%ti¥teitftJi,'' seven- 
teen hundred and seventy-two, in her seventy- 
fifth yeai\ Nec; 40. 

2 James was appointed Constable for Allen 
Township, Junte sixteenth, seventeen hundred 
and fifty-two. 

6 William was berhaps more active than any 
other one, in securing the erection ^o,^ !NJqrthr 
ampton County. v ... , ; j- .ff, ! - 

He too was one of the first, tFustices of the 
County. 

He was recommended by the court, JuiifS 
sixteenth, seventeen hundred and fifty-two,, to 
the Governor, for a license to keep » public 
house. 

He seems to have been the progenitor of the 
many Craig hotel keepers. .i/ x,-. ,; : _ • v

'''' ll Joseph married 12 8 Esther Brown, a de- 
Scigndant of 13 Samuel Brown. See. 

They r^taoted to Ohio,. in eighteen hun'd'rea 
and fifteen or sixteen. 

Of the present generation of Craigs we have 
learned little of a definite character. 

At one time a 14 John Craig lived in the 
Settlement, who had two sons, 15 William, 
and 16 Charles. 

15 William kept a hotel in Belvidere, N. J., 
where perhaps some of the connection may be 
found. 

-■ 14 John had a brother 17 'Thomas, wh^ resi- 
ded at Lehigh Gap, Penn'a, and was known as 
General Thomas Craig. He had at least three 
ehildren, we believe; viz. 18 Charles, 19 
Thomas, and 20 (daughter). This 14 John, 
fttid 17 Thomas, seem to have been sons of 
Thomais Craig (first), as referred to in the ex- 
tract irom; History of Northampton County, 
above inserted. 

2PjM'y of Lehigh Gap, and 

22 Allen, of Mauch Chunk, arid 
f5 M^'#d^5 of Catasauqua and Bath, Penn'a, 
all belong to the connection, we believe. 

IThsatisfactory as it may seem, we are com- 
pelled to be content with these fragments.

Esq., who was for forty-two years a ruling

"Rev. John Rosbrugh was the father of 
Jajnes (Rosbrugh,) who used to tell an anec- 
dote connected with the history of the-building 
of the Academy, at Bath;, which was as fol- 
lows : He, with a number of other young: men, 
wanted the advantage of something better than 
a con^mon school education, and they took 
measures to build by subscription. He called 
on a Dutchman by the name of George Wolf 
for aid, but Mr. Wolf refused by saying, 'Dat 
dis edecation ant dings make raskels. ' H'e ^ re- 
fused at ^rst, but I believe^ did afferwards ■ hislp 
to build it. But in the course of the conversa- 
tion, Mr. Rosbrugh told him that his sons? 
George and Philip, would have the advantage 
of an education, and that his son George, might 
be Governor sooner of later. ^Tell- deWv- ven 
my George is Gobernor he will be queer timesi' 

"The sequel of the matter was - that 0^€>rg»

MENTJN THE OLDEN TIME

NECROLOGY. 

Having given briefly, in a former publica- 
tion, the history of the church in the Irish 
Settlement, and thereby brought to notice 
some of the acts of her people while they were 
alive ; and these people and their descendants 
having to a great degree either gone to their 
long home, or removed to other parts of the 
country, it was thought it might be interest- 
ing to the present generation, to notice what 
yet remains in the Settlement to call to mem- 
ory those who have passed away. For those 
descendants who reside beyond the bounds of 
the Settlement, moi^e particularly, we have 
collected and arranged the following nec- 
rology. It is nothing more than an alphabet- 
ical arrangement of the inscriptions upon the 
tomb stones in the old grave yard. It is hoped 
there are others who will feel as much inter- 
ested, and take as much pleasure in perusing 
these pages, as the author has in transcribing 
and arranging the inscriptions. It is intended 
to give the names, as far as practicable, in the 
chronological order of the death of the person, 
under whatever letter of the alphabet they 



152 Necrology 

may come ; but in order to bring tbe members 
of families into closer connection, in some 
cases, this rule has been deviated from. 

There may be some mistakes in the orthog- 
raphy, and dates set down. If the dfficulty of 
collecting and arranging the matter could be 
appreciated by each one, we apprehend due 
allowance would be made for any discrepen- 
cies. It is hoped, however, the inscriptions 
will be found to be, in the main, norrectly 
ti-anscribed. 

If descendants do not find inscriptions 
which, they supposed were in existence, it is 
probable the tomb stones bearing them have 
entirely disappeared. 

In some cases it will be found that in the 
genealogies, the age of the person is given, as 
in the year denoted by the last birth-day, 
whilst in others it is giVen as in the year 
denoted by the birth-day succeeding death. 
This arises from the fact that in the genealo- 
gies the ages were given as ascertained from 
various sources of information. Differences 
between family records and tomb stone in- 
scriptions, the author has had no means of 
rectifying. 

The first number attached to an inscription 
is the current, number of the -same in the 
necrology; the second is the number of the 
person in the genealogies.

ogies had been in print. This will account

DATE OF THE SETTLEMENT. 

In a letter, bearing date April 13th, 1878, 
Wm. H. Egle, M. D,, of Harrisbnrg, author 
of the "Illustrated History of the Common- 
wealth of Pennsylvania" published in 1876, 
we find the following information. 

^ 'S orate tmi or twelve years ago, I wrote an 
article on the influenne of the Scotch-Irish 
element in our state and nation, and then 



214 Reminiscences. 

expressed a hope that an liistorical society 
woLild be formed for the purpose of publishing 
all matters relating to the Scotch-Irish immi- 
gration — calling attention also to the fact that 
as early as 1717, no less than five vessels of 
immigrants from the north of Ireland arrived 
on the coast of New England, but forbidden 
to land at Boston by the intolerant puritan, 
the immigrants moved up the Kennebec, and 
there settled. The winter of 1717— '18 bc'.n^^' 
one of unusual severity, the great majority of 
these settlers left the Kenneliec and came 
overland into Pennsylvania, settling in North- 
ampton county. Hence your Irish Settlement." 

We have received also from another and 
entirely independent source, information 
which coincides with this. Mr. A. Boyd 
Hamilton, of Harrisburg, writng under date 
of Oct. 25th, 1875, says:- 

"My family records say, that John Boyd 
came from Scotland in 1714 — married Jane 
Craig at Phil'a in 1715 — resided there up to 
1728, when he went with Col. Thos. Craig 
and others, to 'the new purchase'. He was 
settled there in 1731, new style, as were the 
Wilson's, Brown's &c. The father of Robert 
Brown, married a daughter of J. Boyd, and 
E,. B., their son, was in congress twenty years, 
from Northampton county. His grand-son, 



Reminiscences. 215 

Gen. Robert Shimer Brown, near Bethleliem, 
has part of tlie original land yet. 

"The Boyd family went to Cumberland 
county about 1756 — say '60. As I am a de- 
scendant of Adam Boyd, (cousin german of 
Robert Brown) by an only child, I cannot be 
far wrong when I compare dates and tradi- 
tions. My great-grand-mother died in 1830, 
aged eighty-four, and she always told mother, 
AvLo ilicd in 1872, aged eighty-six, that the cir- 
cumstances I have detailed, were correct. 
Botl! vrere jic'coniplished women, as their an- 
cestry were substantial folks, able to give the 
best education the day afforded." 

It will be observed that the dates given by 
these communications for the immigration of 
the Scotch-Irish into Pennsylvania, very 
closely agree. Beside this, the family records 
of Mr. Hamilton furnish good grounds upon 
which to fix the date of the Settlement. By 
turning to the Genealogies, pp. 19 and 147, it 
will be observed that the first John Boyd's 
son John, married Elizabeth Young, in 1744. 
As her husband was born in Phila. in 1716 
and went with his father to found the Settle- 
ment, the year in which this event occurred, 
would naturally be fixed in his mind, and his 
communicating the date to his wife would 
leave little doubt but that it was correctly im- 



lilt) Ju',))UiUsccncc<s. 

presed upon her miucl. This evicleiico is 
satisfactory enough even upon the' supposition 
that she had no personal knowledge of the 
date. This Mrs. Boyd, we observe also, died 
in 1803 when eighty -four years of age. Adam 
Boyd was her son, and his daughter Kosanna, 
who was Mr. Hamilton's mother, was born in 
1786, so that she would be seventeen years old 
at the death of her grand-mother. Mr. Ham- 
ilton tells us that his great-grand-m other 
always told his mother that the Settlement 
dated from 1728. The testimony coming thus 
direct, leaves little doubt but that this is the 
correct date. The fact also that the minutes 
of the Synod of Phila. seem to refer to a 
church in the Settlement as early as 1731, is 
corroborative of the foregoing date. See his- 
tory of the Settlement church, p. 13.

Reminiscences. 217 



GETTING POSSESSION OF THE LAND. 

Thp claim to the land within the bounds of 
the Irish Settlement, was not wrested from the 
Indians until the year 1737 — nine years after 
the Settlement had been formed. It was ob- 
tained by what has been known as the famous 
walk of that year. "With regard to this walk, 
we make the following extracts from Egle's 
history of Pennsylvania. 

"The Proprietary land office having been 
closed from 1718 to tho year 1732, during the 
minorities of Richard and Thonias Penn, emi- 
grants seated themselves without title on such 
vacant lands as they found convenient. The 
number of settlers of this kind entitled them 
to great consideration. Their rights accruing 
by priority of settlement, were recognized by 
the public, and passed, with their improve- 
ments, through many hands, in confidence 
that they would receive the Proprietary sanc- 
tion. Much agitation was produced when the 
Provincial proclamation required all who had 
not obtained and paid for warrants, to pay to 
the receiver general within four months, the 
sums clue for their lands, under penalty of 
ejectment. As a consequence great difficulties 



218 Memiyiiscences. 

arose; the Assembly sought to compromise 
the matter, payment of the purchase money 
being postponed for several years longer." p. 76. 

"The first purchase of land from the Indians 
above the ISTeshaminy, in Bucks, made by 
William Markham, the agent of William 
Penn, was in 1682. This purchase was to be 
bounded by the river Delaware on the north- 
east, and the ISTeshaminy on the north-west, 
and was to extend as far back as a man cou^l 
walk in three da^^s. It is stated that Penn 
and the Indians began to walk out this land, 
commencing at the mouth of the Neshaminy, 
and walking up the Delaware; and in one day 
and a half they got to a spruce tree, near 
Baker's creek, when Penn concluded this 
would include as much land as he would want 
at present. A line was drawn, and marked 
from the spruce tree to the ISTeshaminy. 

"From the period of this purchase, numer- 
ouis white settlers established themselves 
northward as far as Durham, in the upper 
part of the county, [Bucks] where a furnace 
was erected ; and some of the scattering fron- 
tier establishments of the white people reached 
as far as the Lehigh hills. The Indians, be- 
coming uneasy at the approach of these set- 
tlements of the white people, desired to have 
a limit plac.ed upon these encroachments, and 



Eemiiuscences. 219 

a treaty was held at Diirham in 1734, which 
was continued at Pennsbuiy in May, 1735, 
and conchided at Philadelphia in August, 
1737; in which the limits of the tract,' as de- 
scribed in the deed of 1682, were confirmed, 
and it was agreed that the 'walk' which was 
to determine the extent of the territory should 
he performed. It seems to have been expec- 
ted by the Indians that this 'walk' would not 
extend beyond the Lehigh hills, about forty 
miles from where it was to begin ; but it was 
the desire of the Proprietary in 1737 to extend 
the walk as far as possible, so as to include the 
land in the Porks of the Delaware, and eVen 
further up the river, to obtain, if possible, the 
possession of the Mitiisink land — a very desi- 
rable tract along the river above the Blue 
mountains. The time appointed for the walk 
was the 19th of September, 1737. The place 
agreed upon as the point to commence was at 
a chestnut tree standing a little above the 
present site of Wrightstown. The walk was 
under the superintendence of Timothy Smith, 
then Sheriff of Bucks county, and Benjamin 
Eastburn, surveyor general. The persons 
employed by government to perform the walk 
were famous for tlieir abilities as fast walkers, 
and they were to have as a compensation five 
pounds in money and five hundred acres of 



220 Reminiscences. 

land in the purchase. They were Edward 
Marsliall, a native of Bucks county, a noted 
hunter, chain carrier, etc. ; James Yeates, also 
a native of Bucks county, a tall slim man of 
much agility and speed of foot; and Solomon 
Jennings, a remarkably stout and strong man. 
At sun rise they started from the chestnut 
tree alluded to above "Wrightstowu, accompa- 
nied by a number of persons, some of whom 
carried refreshments for them. They walked 
moderately at first, but soon quickened their 
pace, so that the Indians frequently called to 
them to loalJi and not to run; but these remon- 
strances produced no effect, and most of the 
Indians left them in anger, saying that they 
were cheated. A number of people were col- 
lected about twenty miles from the starting 
point to see them pass. First came Yeates, 
stepping as light as a feather, accompanied 
by several persons on horseback; after him, 
but out of sight, came Jennings, with a strong 
steady step; and yet, far behind, came Mar- 
shall, apparently careless, swinging a hatchet 
alternately in one hand to balance the mo- 
tion of his body, and eating a biscuit. Bets 
ran in favor of Yeates. Jennings and two 
of the Indian ^^-alkers gave out before the 
'end of the first day, being 'unable to keep 
up with the others. But Marshall, Yeates,

and one Indian kept on, and arrived at sunset 
on tlie north side of the Blue mountain. At 
sunrise next morning they started again, but 
when crossing a stream at the foot of the 
mountain Yeates became faint and fell. Mar- 
shall turned back and supported him until 
some of the attendants came up, and then 
continued to walk by himself. At noon, the 
hour when the walk was to terminate, he had 
reached a spur of the second Blue mountain, 
esteemed to be eighty-six miles from the star- 
ting point. Having thus reached the furthest 
possible point to the north-westward, it now 
remained to draw a line from the end of the 
v/alk to the river Delaware. The course of 
this line not being described in the deed of 
purchase, the agent of the Proprietaries, 
instead of running by the nearest course to the 
river, ran north-eatward across the country, 
so as to strike the Delaware near the mouth 
of the Lackawaxen, thus extending far up the 
river, taking in all the Minisink territory, and 
many thousand acres more than if they had 
run by the nearest course to the Delaware. 
It is well known that the Delaware Indians 
immediately &aw and complained of the man- 
ner in which these things were done, as a 
fraud upon them, nor would they relinquish 
the land until compelled to do so by the dep- 
uties of the six nations, at the treaty of 1742.

The proceedings of tliis walk are mentioned 
as one of the causes of the hostile feelings of 
the Indians, which eventually led to war and 
bloodshed; and the first murder cominitted 
by them in the Province was on the very land 
they believed themselves cheated out of." p. 
442. 

The course of this walk was directly through 
the Irish Settlement. 

"The party crossed the Lehigh, at a beauti- 
ful island, a mile below the present site of Beth- 
lehem. Here Solomon Jennings left them; 
he had abandoned the contest an hour or two 
before the halt was made for dinner, and after- 
wards only kept on, in the rear of the company, 
as one of the spectators, not intending to pass 
the Lehigh, but to go to his home, which was 
near the river bank, two or three miles above 
the point of crossing. 

"From the Lehigh they passed on in the 
same general direction, and made no halt of 
more than a few minutes between the river 
and the mountain gap, through which their 
path lay. The Indians, who started with them, 
had fallen out and left them hours before, be- 
ing both exhausted with fatigue, and greatly 
incensed at what they professed to consider the 
unfairness of the manner in which the walk 
was made, and when they dropped out of the 



Memmiscences. 223 

walking party, they did so with many express- 
ions of indignation at the fraud which they 
said Penn v/as practicing upon their people. 

"At the gap (now in Moore township), the 
travelers found a number of Lidians awaiting 
them. These Indians were amazed to see 
that such a distance had been made by the 
white men in a day, for they had believed that 
this point would be the end of the one-and-a- 
half day's journey, and they thought that, at 
any rate, the whites, although arriving so long 
before the specified time, would rest here, and 
declare it to be the end of the walk, and the 
boundary of the purchase. 

"But no such thing was in the minds of the 
white men. They passed right on through 
the gap; the time for their night halt, not 
having yet quite arrived. By this time all 
were excess^^^ely fatigued, and when, a short 
time later. Sheriff Smith called time, and or- 
dered the walk to cease for the day, both 
Marshall and Yeates sunk on the ground in 
utter exhaustion. They passed the night at 
the north base of the mountain, and slept un- 
der the open canopy of heaven. 

"The Indians at the gap, when they found 
that tbe party did not intend to stop at the 
mountain, were in a state of great dissatisfac- 
tion, and mthdrawing to a place a little way

from tlie bivouac of the walking party, they 
made the whole night ring with their yells 
and howls of rage. 

"In the morning, they again set out at sun- 
rise, but had gone only a little distance when 
Yeates gave out and fell in a creek, in a state 
of complete prostration, and quite blind. It 
was his last walk, for he lived but three days 
after that fatal morning. 

"Marshll continued to walk with apparent 
strength and vigor until noon, and when Smith 
announced the completion of the time, he 
struck his hatchet into a small sapling, one of 
a cluster of five chestnut oaks, vv-^hich mark- 
ed the north-westerly bounds of the fa- 
mous loalking 'pur chase.'' Ellis's History of 
Northampton County, jp. 40. 

Of this, it is said in Egle's history of 
Pennsylvania, p. 987:- 

"The course taken* by the walkers, Mar- 
shall and Yeates, in September of 1737, in 
their effort to walk out as much land as pos- 
sible for Thomas Penn, ran from near the 
south-eastern to the extreme north-western 
corner of this [present Allen] township; 
and it was not far from Howell's grist mill 
on the Hockendauqua, where the walkers 
and tlieir attendants pii.ssed the night of the 
19tlj of September, prior to resuming the 



BeminisGences. ^2.5 

walk for six additional hoars, on the morning 
of the 20th. When excavating a cut for the 
bed of the Lehigh and Susquehanna railroad 
' in 1867, the workmen, not far from this point 
came upon the remains of an Indian burial 
ground, which was probably the place of sep- 
ulture for the village, where the Indians, we 
are told, passed that memorable night in a 
wild cantico." 

Thus, in 1737, the lands in the Irish Settle- 
inent came under the control of the Proprie- 
tary government. 
Very soon, it seems that Chief-justice "William 
Allen— father-in-law of Gov. John Penh-— be- 
came possessed of five thousand acres of land 
upon the Lehigh river, including in part at 
least, the Irish Settlement. This was followed 
shortly — in 1748 — ^by the erection of Allen 
township, by a decree of the Bucks county 
court, the present l^orthampton county not 
being erected until 1752. Thus the settlers 
were provided means of acquiring legal titles 
to their lands. This, doubtless, was a great 
boon to them, as they had lived nine years — 
from 1728 to 1737 — under the claim of the In- 
dians, and then for eleven years — from 1787 
tp 1748— upon what was early known as the 
"Northampton Hunting Grounds." 

Of these early experiences of the settlers it 
is said :-

226 Reminiscences. 

"The original township of Allen, which 
comprised both the above, [East Allen] as 
well as the township ofJEanover, and a portion 
of the present territory of Lehigh county, 
was erected, in June, 1748, by decree of the 
Bucks County Court of Quarter Sessions; 
granted upon the petition of thirty-seven of 
the inhabitants of the township. It was 
named in honor of William Allen, who, sub- 
sequently to 1740, became proprietor of a 
large tract of land in this section. 

"Hanover was separated from it in 1798, 
and East Allen in 1845. 

"The Delaware Indians were the original in- 
habitants of this, as well as other, portions of 
the county, and gave names to many of the 
streams, places, and hills ; Hokendauqua, sig- 
nifying — searching for land — and Catasauqua — 
the land is thirsty. 

"At the time of the arrival of the first set- 
tlers, the. Indians had their wigwams, and cul- 
tivated gardens, with apple and pear trees, 
near where "Weaversville now stands. Indian 
arrows and pestles are, even at the present day, 
frequently turned up by the plough. 

"The large spring on the premises of David 
Heller was made known to the whites by an 
Indian squaw, who, overhearing a white settler 
ask for a drink, said: 'Give me a gourd, and 
I will fetch you some.' Upon which being

done, she departed through the briers and 
brush, and soon returned with the water." 
Ellis's History of Northampton Gounty^ p. 239. 

"It was within the limits of East Allen that 
the Ulgter Scot pioneers of iTorthampton 
county made their settlements as early as 1728. 
They seated themselves upon one of the rich- 
est limestone sections in the county, hewed 
out noble farms from the primeval forests — 
farms which are the admiration of the traveller 
to the present day, built churches and school 
houses, and for generations were a distinct 
element in the population of the county. The 
first church was built in 1746; it was superse- 
ded by a second and they in turn by the one 
which stands to the present day, near where 
are interred the remains of the first of those 
hardy yeomen who exchanged the comforts of 
Miliome in the old world for the uncertainties of 
border life in an American wilderness. Both 
church and burial ground are near "Weavers- 
ville. 

"As has been stated earlier, 'this settlement 
which was long known by the name of 'the 
Craig Settlement' extended from the Menaka- 
sy on the east, to the Hockendauqua and the 
Lehigh on the west. Hugh Wilson erected a 
grist mill on the Hockendauqua creek as early 
as 1740. He and the Craig brothers were the 
most influential among this peoplewii ^i^Tames

of other promineut individuals have been given 
on a previous page. David Brainerd preached 
, occasionally for the settlers during his mission 
in the Forks of Delaware. * * * 

"The Scotch-Irish entered this part of old 

Allen [upper part of present Allen] soon after 

their first settlement on the head waters of 

..the Catasauqua. Few of their descendants, 

^,hp)vev<pr, may be found on the ancestral acres, 

.(j^iosi; of these having passed into the hands of 

strangers, principally germans." Egle^p. 987. 



Note. In the foregoing extracts relative to the walking 
purchase, it will be observed two different routes are indica- 
ted as followed by the walkers ; one through the gap in 
Moore township, and the other much further west, through 
Allen township as now bounded, by way of Howell's mill. 
The first is the popular theory, as recorded by Ellis in the 
. "History of Northampton County" published in 1877. The 
other is briefly stated in Egle's "History of the Common- 
wealth of Pennsylvania" p. 967, as follows :- 

"A map, however, drawn by Thomas Holme, sometime 
.; surveyor of the 'Province, illustrating this historic walk, 
-( jwhich, together with other valuble documents bearing on the 
transaction, was purchased from the heirs of the Penn family, 
■ a few years ago, by the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, 
"has, once for all put to rest the many erroneous statements 
; ;extant in books in reference to the day and half day's walk. 
., getting out from Wrightstown, as was stated, op the indming 
of the 19th of September, 1737, the walkers pursued a north- 
erly com-se, keeping along the old Dm'ham road to Durham 
ci"eek, thence deployed westerly, at about 2 o'clock P. M., 
and forded the Lehigh a half mile below Bethlehem, 



BeminiSeendeg: ■ 2'29 



thence walked on in a north-westerly line through the plot 
of the present borough of Bethlehem, and passing through 
the north-east angle of Hanover township, Lehigh county, 
into Allen township, halted a* sundown, not far from the site 
of Howell's mill on the Hockendauqua." 

It may be said the popular story, as found in Ellis's his- 
tory, is beset with difficulties. It should be remembered 
that one third (or nearly so) of the distance was traveled on 
the second day. What this distance purported to be, is 
given by the following memorandum, or field notes of the 
survey of the route taken by the walkers, as 
found in Ellis, p. 40, which he says is "presumably correct."

. , By this it will be se,en that the last day's joiirney must 
have been twenty miles, or a little less— on account of fatigue 
and delays — say seventeen miles. To measure seventeen 
miles from the northern base of the Blue mountains, as re- 
quired by Ellis's presentation of the case, would seem to put 
the point reached, entirely too far to the north-west. B6side 
if any one will take the trouble to draw a diagram of the roul§ 
as indicated by the field notes, and then try to apply it to ^a 
map of the Lehigh river, and its adjacents, between Bethle* 
hem and Mauch Chunk, upon the same scale, he will find 
how difficult it will be to locate the route from Bethlehem 
through the gap in Moore township. At the same tina^ if he 
will measure back about seventeen miles from the end of the 
walk, as determined by the notes, and then place that point 
upon the map, at Howell's mill, he will be surprised to find 
that the route will fall through the Lehigh Water Gap- 
through Allen and Hanover townships, and cross the Lehigh 
river at Bethlehem. So that Ellis's iiotes seem to contradict 
his location of the route, and confirm that given in Egle'9 
history. Author.

being able to account for the fact that the distance here indi- 
cated is 72J miles instead of Ql^.

DAVID BRAINERD 
IN THE SETTLEMENT. 

It seems to be the prevailing impression 
that Mr. Brainerd pursued his labors among 
the Indians in a howling wilderness, where he 
never had the opportunity of beholding the 
face of a white man. To dispel such an im- 
pression, the attention need only be directed 
to the fact that he went to the Forks of Del- 
aware in 1744, sixteen years after thne Irish 
Settlement had been started within fifteen 
miles of his location, and fourteen years after 
the starting of Hunter's Settlement, at a point 
still much nearer to him. This will account 
for the repeated references made by him to 
the white people, in his diary. 

We give here, from "Memoirs of the Rev. 
David Brainerd", New Haven edition, 1822, a 
number of references by him to his visits to 
the Settlement. 

1744, Monday, July 23rd. "Rode to a set- 
tlement of Irish people, about fifteen miles 
south-westward; spent my time in prayer and 
meditation by the ways. Near night, preach-

"Wednesday, July 25tli, lie preached to Indi- 
ans about seventeen miles to the westward of 
the Settlement, whither he had~gone on Tues- 
day, "and then returned to the Irish settle- 
ment, and there preached to a numerous con- 
gregation. There was a considerable appear- 
ance of awakening in the congregation."

^^ Lord's day, Oct. 14. 'Was much confused 
and perplexed in my thoughts ; could not pray ; 
and was almost discouraged, thinking I should 
never be able to preach any more. After-

from these confusions ; but still I was afraid, 
and even troubled before God. I went to the 
place of public worship, lifting up my heart to 
God for assistance and grace, in my great 
work : and God was gracious to me, helping 
me to plead with him for holiness, and to use

grees of holiness, that I might shew my 
gratitude to God.' " p. 165.

pride." 

"On Monday he preached again in the same 
place with freedom and fervency." p. 187. 

1745. Saturday, April 27th. "The next 
day, he went to the Irish settlement, often be- 
fore mentioned, "about fifteen miles distant; 
where he spent the Sabbath, and preached 
with some considerable assistance." ,p. 197. 

"Wednesday, September 4th. "Rode 15 
miles to an Irish settlement, and preached 
there from Luke xiv. 22. '■Ajid yet there is

teiiderness and enlargement in the first prayer, 
and much freedom as well as warmth in the 
sermon. There were many tears in the assem- 
bly; the people of God seemed to melt; and 
others to be in some measure awakened. 
Blessed be the Lord, who lets me see his

If the reader will go to the old town of 
Northampton, in Massachusetts, and take the 
street leading from the centre of the town to 
the bridge crossing the Connecticut river, he 
will soon arrive at the resting place of the 
ashes of David Brain erd. Entering the old 
burying ground to the left of the street, and 
walking less than a hundred yards, beneath 
an arch of shade trees, to his right hand, near 
the carriage-way, surrounded by murmuring 
pines, and beneath a solitary young New 
England elm, he will find the following in- 
scription.

THE SETTLEMENT AND THE • 
FRENCH AND INDIAN WAR. 

From wliat we have already presented un- 
der the head of "Getting possession of the 
land", it will be observed there was deep 
iiJissatisfaction on the part of the Indians with 
the manner in which the lands south of the 
Blue mountains were obtained by the whites, 
and upon which the Irish Settlement was lo- 
cated. It only required a fanning by French 
intrigue, to cause the smouldering embers of 
hatred in the Indian heart to burst fortl^, into 
a flame, and lead the savages to take ven- 
geance upon the white settlers upon the lands 
out of which they felt they had been defrauded. 
The inhabitants of the Irish Settlement form- 
ed a goodly part of the people whose trials are 
depicted by the following records, which we 
take from Egle's history of Pennsylvania. 

"In 1752, when Northampton county was 
-organized, there were nearly six thousand 
white settlers within the then extensive bor- 
ders of the county; about three hundred 
Dutch, or Hollanders, several French families, 
eight hundred Scotch-Irish, and about four 
thousand Germans. In process of time the 



Reminiscences. 241 

Germans measurably supplanted tlie Scotch- 
Irish. The Germans constitute at present 
about one ninth [nine-tenths ?] of the popula- 
tion. It is a fact, once stated for all,. that the 
Germans have supplanted the Scotch-Irish 
throughout the entire valley of the Kittatinny, 
from Easton to Maryland. 

"The first inhabitants of Northampton coun- 
ty were scarce beginning to enjoy the advan- 
tages which the organization [of the county] 
of 1752 brought with it, when in the summer 
of 1755 the peace in which they had thus far 
lived was rudely broken. It was French am- 
bition and French aggression which provoked 
the first war in which the followers of William 
Penn eugaged with the aborigines. Whatever 
other considerations may have moved the In- 
dians to entertain unfriendly feelings toward 
the descendants of a man whose memory they 
revered — whether loss of confidence in their 
integrity, or a sense of injury, or a wild hope 
of regaining their ancestral seats, it is a ques- 
tion whether they would have followed up 
their feelings by acts of open hostility, had 
they not been incited by the insidious repre- 
sentations of the French of Canada. An alli- 
ance with the Indian tribes of the Province, 
the latter well knew would enable them to 
carry on their military operations in the Ohio

country successfully, and to realize their 
schemes of territorial aggrandizement. In 
this way, then were the Delawares and lesser 
tribes residing on the Susquehanna and east- 
ward seduced from their allegiance to the 
British crown, and led to inflict much suffer-' 
ing on the v/hite settlements which stretched 
along the line of the Blue mountains, from 
the romantic point at which the Delaware has 
broken their barrier, to the confines of Mary- 
land. Braddock's defeat was not only a fatal 
termination of a campaign which it had been 
hoped would inflict a decisive blow upon the 
enemy, but proved the direct means of encour- 
aging the disaffected Indians to make the 
frontiers of the Province the scene of a preda- 
tory warfare, in which old Northampton was 
severely scourged at intervals during a period 
of full two years. 

"The massacre of eleven Moravians at Gna- 
denhutten mission (Lehighton, Carbon county, 
Pennsylvania), in the evening of the 24th of 
November, 1755, was the first indication the 
inhabitants of the county had that the enemy 
was at their doors. Its remote settlements, 
and, among these the scattered plantations 
that nestled in the small valleys immediately 
norlli of the Blue mountain, drained by big 
creek and its briinches, by Broadkead's creek, 
McMichael's and Cherry creeks, and the Penn-

tlie winter of 1765 '56. p. 971. 

"During the Frencla and Indian war, in 
January of 1756, immediately after the disas- 
ter which befell Captain Hays' company of 
Scotch-Irish at Gnadenhutten (nowWnissport), 
where he and his men were ambushed by the 
Indians and well nigh cut to pieces, the set- 
tlers fled from their farms and sought refage 
among the Moravians at Bethlehem and IsTaz- 
areth. 'Soon after my arrival here,' writes 
Franklin from Bethlehem, to Gov-ernor Morris, 
under date of January 14, 1756, 'the principal 
people of the Irish Settlement, such as Wilson 
and elder Craig, came to me and demanded 
an addition of thirty men to Craig's company, 
or threatened they would immediately, one 
and all, leave their country to the enemy.' 
Captain Hays mentioned above, resided on the 
site of Weaversville. p. 988. 

"So emboldened were the savages grown in 
consequence of their successful forays, that in 
January of the last mentioned year [1756], 
their scalp yell was heard within the Moravian 
plantations at l^azareth, and Bethlehem was 
only saved from destruction at their hands by 
the exercise of extreme prudence, and by in- 
cessant watchfalness on the part of the inhabi- 
tants.

"Tlie fear which now seized upon the dwell- 
ers on the frontiers is indescribable, and as 
government moved slowly in devising means 
for their protection (December of 1755 was 
half gone, when Franklin, who had been pre- 
vailed upon to take charge of the northern 
borders, and to provide for the defence of the 
inhabitants by raising troops and building a 
line of forts, moved to the seat of war), they 
placed their safety in flight. In this way it 
came to pass, that within six weeks after the 
first inroads of the enemy, not only was trans- 
montane Northampton almost deserted by the 
whites, but even the plantations in the tier of. 
townships resting against the south-eastern 
slope of the Blue mountain were left to their 
fate — invariably the torch of the Indian wai&- 
rior. This condition of things reached its 
climax, it is true, in the winter of 1756 ; nev- 
ertheless, even pending negotiations for peace 
with the Indians as late as the autumn of 1757, 
there occurred repetitions of the horrors 
which had marked the inception of hostilities. 

"The present townships of Smithfield, 
Stroud, and Hamilton, in Monroe county, 
were next invaded by the savges, after the 
massacre of the Moravians at Gnadenhutten. 
On N'ew Year's day of 1756, the Moravian 
hou,ses at Gnadenhutten east (Weissport, 
Carbon county), were all destroyed, and the

enemy entered LeMgh and Allen townships. 
The papers of that day, as well as the Colonial 
Records, have preserved detailed accounts of 
these cruel marauds, of which the following 
are the most interesting. 

"The K,ev. Nathaniel Siedel, a Moravian 
clergyman residing at Nazareth under date of 
December 11, 1755, writes to Bishop Spangen- 
berg, at Bethlehem, in the following words :- 
'Mr. Bizman, who just came from the Blue 
mountain, and is the bearer of this letter, will 
tell you that there is a number of (two hun- 
dred) Indians about Brodhead's plantation 
(Stroudsburg). They have destroyed all the 
plantations thereabouts, and killed several 
families at Hoeth's' 

"The Rev. J. Michael Graff writes to Bishop 
Spangenberg under date of December 11, 1755, 
as follows :- 'An hour ago came Mr. Glotz, 
and told us that the 10th instant, in the night 
Hoeth's family were killed by the Indians^ ex- 
cept his son and the smith, who made their' 
escape, and their houses burned down. Just 
now came old Mr. Hartman with "his family, 
who also escaped, and they say that all the 
\ tieighborhood of the above mentioned Hoeth's,

' all the houses and families thereabouts, were 
attacked by the Indians at day-light, and

burned down by them. Mr. Culver's and 
Hartman's family are come to us with our 
wagons, and lodge partly here in Nazareth, 
partly in the tavern. Our wagons, which were 
to fetch some corn, were met by Culver's, 
three miles this side of his house, and when 
they heard this shocking news resolved to re- 
turn and carry these poor people to l^azareth. 
They say also that the number of Indians is 
above two hundred. We want your good ad- 
vice what to do in this present situation and 
circumstances, and desire, if possible, your as- 
sistance.' Col. Rec. vi, 757. 

"Timothy Horsefield, a justice of the peace, 
and resident of Bethlehem, wrote to Governor 
Morris, under date of December 12, 1755, in 
these words :-'Hoeth and his family are cut off, 
only two escaping. The houses etc., of Hoeth, : 
Brodhead and others are actually laid in ashes, 
and people from all quarters are flying for 
their lives, and common report is that the In- 
dians are two hundred strong. 

'Your honor can easily guess at the trouble 
and consternation we must be in on this occa- 
sion in these parts. As to Bethlehem, we 
have taken all precaution in our power for our 
defence ; we have taken all our little children 
from' Nazareth to Bethlehem for the greater 
security, and these, with the rest of our chil- 
dren, are near three hundred in number.

^Although our gracious King and Parlia- 
ment have been pleased to exempt those 
among us of tender conscience from bearing 
arms, yet there are many among us who make 
no scruple of defending themselves against 
such cruel savages. But, alas! what can we 
do, having very few arms and little or no am- 
unition ; and we are now, as it were, become 
the frontier, and as we are circumstanced, our 
family (economy) being so large, it is impossi- 
ble for us to retire to any other place for secu- 
rity. 

'I doubt not your Honor's goodness will 
lead you to consider the distress we are in, and 
speedily aiFord us what relief shall be thought 
necessary against the merciless savages. 

'P. S. Hoeth's, Brodhead's, etc, are situ- 
ated a few miles over the Blue mountains, 
about twenty-five or thirty miles from Bethle- 
hem.' 

"William Parsons, of Easton, writes to the 
Hon. James Hamilton and Benjamin Frank- 
lin, Esq., under date of December 15, 1755: 
'The settlers on this side of the mountain all 
along the river side are actually removed, and 
we are now the frontier part of the country. 
Our poor people of this town have quite ex- 
pended their little substance and are wearied

liopes government would have taken measures 
for their relief and for the security of the town. 
But now, seeing themselves as well as the 
town neglected, they are moving away as fast 
as they can. So that if we have no help, nor 
orders from the Commissioners to use means 
to get help, in a day or two we shall every one 
of us be obliged to leave the town, and all that 
We have in it, to the fury of the enemy, who, 
there is no reason to doubt, are lurlking about 
within sight of us. Besides the losses which 
, I have reason to sustain in this calamity, I 
have expended what little stock of cash I had, 
in public services, so that I am obliged to send 
this by private hands, not being able to pay a 
person to go express with it. Pray do some- 
thing, or give some order for our speedy relief, 
or the country will be entirely ruined. If you 
had but given encouragement to some persons 
that you could have confided in, for their em- 
ploying people just for our present defence, 
till you could have agreed on a general plan, 
^11 this part of the country might have been 
saved, which is now entirely lost, and the en- 
emy are still penetrating further and further, 
and if iiinnediate means are not taken, they 
will vei^y soon be within sight of Philadelphia. 
'This is my real opinion, for all the country is 
tljdng before them and no means are employed 
to stop them.' " Col. Rec. vi.761. p. 972.

"Captain Jacob Arndt, of the Province ser- 
vice, has left a list of the killed and prisoners 
made by the Indians from the beginning of 
the war till December 16, 1757. This record 
was completed at Fort Allen (Weissport, Car- 
bon county), of which post Arndt was at the 
time commandant. According to this interes- 
ting statement, one hundred and fourteen men, 
women, and children were killed, and fifty-two 
taken captive. Of the latter, seven were re- 
turned by the Indians, or effected their escape." 

"The peace in which the inhabitants of 
Northampton were again beginning to live, 
after the adjustment of the dififerences with 
the Delawares and Shawanese in 1758, was a 
second time broken, when, in the summer of 
1763, there came rumors of Indian incursions 
in the then far west, and of an impending In- 
dian war. At the very time when the Ottawa 
chieftain, Pontiac, was prosecuting the siege 
of Detroit (12th May to 12th October), in the 
course of his mighty effort to drive the English 
from the country, lesser parties, at the bidding 
of their great leader, had crossed the AUeghe- 
nies, and were committing depredations upon 
the frontiers of the Province. Before day- 
break in the morning of the 8th of October, 
some Delawares attacked the house of John 
Stenton, in Allen township, on the main road 



250 J^enmusceuees. . ) 

from Bethlehem to Fort Allen, eight miles 
north-west from the former place, where Cap- 
tain Jacob Wetterhold, of the Provincial 
service, with a squad of men, was lodging for 
the night. Meeting with Jean, the wife ot 
.fames Horner, who was on her way to a 
neighbors for coals to light her morning fire, 
the Indians fearing lest she should betray them 
or raise an alarm, dispatched her with their 
tomahawks. [See Genealogies, page 66, No. 
2, and !N"ecrology, page 170, Wo. 59.] There- 
upon they surrounded Stenton's house. No 
sooner had Captain "Wetterhold's servant step- 
ped out of the house (he had been sent to 
saddle the captain's horse) than he was shot 
down. The report of the Indian's piece 
brought his master to the door, who, on open- 
ing it, received a mortal wound. Sergeant 
Lawrence MnGuire, in his attempt to draw 
him in, was also dangerously wounded and 
fell, whereupon the Lieutenant advanced. He 
was confronted by an Indian, who leaped upon 
the bodies of the fallen men, presented a pis- 
tol, which the lieutenant thrust aside as it was 
being discharged, thus escaping with his life, 
and succeeding also in repelling the savage. 
The Indians now took a position at a window, 
and there shot Stenton as he was in the act of 
ri«iiig from, bed. Rushing from the house, 
the wounded man ran for a mile, and dropped

down a corpse. His wife and two children 
bad meanwhile secreted themselves in the cel- 
lar, where they were .fired upon three times, 
but without being struck. Captain Wetter- 
hold, despite his sufferings, dragged himself 
to a window, through which he shot one of 
the savages while in the act of applying a 
torch to the house. Hereupon, taking up the 
dead body of their comrade, 'the besiegers 
withdrew. Having on their retreat plundered 
the house of James Allen, they attacked An- 
drew Hazlitt's, [See Gen. p. 59.] where they 
shot and scalped a man, shot Hazlitt after a 
brave defence, and then tomahawked his fugi- 
tive wife and two children in a barberous 
manner. Finally they set fire to his house, 
and then to that of Philip Kratzer, and cross- 
ing the Lehigh above Siegfrieds bridge, passed 
into Whitehall township. 

"In this maraud, twenty-three persons were 
killed, and many dangerously wounded. The 
settlers were thrown into the utmost distress, 
fleeing from their plantations with hardly a 
sufiiciency of clothing to cover themselves, 
and coming into the town of Northampton 
(now AUentown), where, we read, there were 
but four guns at the time 'and three of them 
unfit for use, with the enemy four miles from 
the place.' At the same time, Yost's mill,

about eleven miles from Bethleliem, was 
destroyed, and all the people of the place, ex- 
cepting a young man, cut off. 

"This was the last invasion of the present 
Northampton county by a savage foe." p. 974. 

It only remains to be added that the Irish 
Settlement people suffered all the terror con- 
sequent upon the murder of their immediate 
neighbors of. other nationalities, as we have 
here depicted, and that the Stenton massacre 
was in the midst of the Settlement itself.

•THE SETTLEMENT 
AND THE REYOLUTION. 

From Egle's history of Pennsylvania, we 
make the following extracts. 

"After the defeat of the Americans on Long 
Island, in November of 1776, "Washington 
and his forces retreated through New Jersey 
to Pennsylvania. From his headquarters in 
Bucks county, under date of December 22, 
1776, the General writes to Colonel John Sieg- 
fried, of Allen townsliip, as follows :- 

'Sir: The council of safety of this state, by 
their resolves of the 17th inst., empowered me 
to call out the militia of Northampton county 
to the assistance of the Continental army, that, 
by our joint endeavors, we may put a stop to 
the progress of the enemy, who are making 
preparations to advance to Philadelphia as 
soon as they cross the Delaware, either by 
boats or on the ice. As I am unacquainted 
with the names of the Colonels of your militia, 
I have taken the liberty to enclose you six let- 
ters, in which you will please insert the names 
of the proper officers, and send them immedi- 
ately to them, by persons in whom you can

confide for their delivery. If there are not as 
many colonels as letters you may destroy the 
balance not wanted. 

'I earnestly entreat those who are so far lost 
to a love of country as to refuse to lend a hand 
to its support at this time, they depend upon 
being treated as their baseness and want of 
public spirit will most justly deserve. 

. 'I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, 
George Washington.' 

"A number of companies of militia of the 
county, upon this requisition, immediately 
marched, and were engaged in the battles of 
Trenton, Brandywine, and Germantown. 
One of the earliest of those to take the field 
was a company. Captain Hays', enlisted in the 
Craig Settlement in Allen township. The 
Rev. John Rosborough, the then pastor, ac- 
companied the patriots of his flock in the 
capacity of chaplain, and with them reported 
for duty on the banks of the Delaware, near 
Coryell's ferry, in Bucks county. Having ta- 
ken part in the capture of the Hessians at 
Trenton, the first action in which they partici- 
pated, the next morning, Mr. Rosborough, 
while in a farm-house near the village of Pen- 
nington, was surprised by a scouting party of 
British horse, and cruelly put to death. He 
lies buried in the graveyard of old 'Trenton 
First Church.'" p. 976."

"In the Revolutionary war the Scotch-Irish 
of Northampton were among the first to take 
up arms in defence of their adopted country's 
liberties, and Captain Hays' company saw ser- 
vice at the battle of Long Island [?], and at 
Trenton. General Robert Brown and General 
Thomas Craig, both officers in the Conti- 
nental army, were natives of the Irish 
Settlement." p. 988. 

In Ellis's history of Northampton county 
we find the following. 

"Most of the Northampton troops which 
were in the field, took part in the battles of 
Trenton and Princeton. The Rev. Mr. Rose- 
bury, a Presbyterian clergyman of the Irish 
settlement, in Allen township, lost his life in 
the first named engagement. Intensely patri- 
otic, and brave as the bravest, he knew that 
the Commander-in-Chief had need of men, 
and that was sufficient to show him that it 
was his*duty to heed his country's call, and to 
come up to her help against the mighty. He 
took the most active part and the liveliest in- 
terest in the organization of Captain Hays' 
company, which was raised, at a few hours 
notice, among the liberty-loving covenanters 
of the Irish settlements, and, doffing the 
sacred vestments for the garb of a private 
soldier, he shouldered his musket, and, with 



256 Beminiscenees. 

untaltering faith, advanced into the field of 
battle, where God had mustered the hosts for 
war. 

"The company of Captain Hays, after Tren- 
ton and Princeton, did not enter into winter 
quarters with the army in New Jersey, but re- 
turned to their homes for the time, passing 
through Bethlehem on the nineteenth of 
January. This was not, on their part, a retire- 
ment from service, but they simply took 
winter quarters at home, in the bosom of their 
families, instead of the comfortless canton- 
ments at Morristown; for they could, at two 
days notice, rejoin their companions in arms, 
when the return of spring should place the ar- 
my of Washington again in the field." p. 59. 

The following is a list of Captain Rundio's 
Company from Il^orthampton county, which 
fought in the battles of Long Island and Fort 
Washington, and in which General Robert 
Brown was then First Lieutenant. •

Under date of October 20th, 1875, General 
Robert S. Brown, of Bethlehem Penn'a, grand- 
son of General Robert Brown of the Revolution, 
in speaking of these privations, says :- 

"The Brown family of the Settlement, are 
Scotch-Irish 'Covenanters' who iied the Old- 
country from the persecutions of Cromwell, 

"Though possessed of a large landed estate 
in J^orthampton county, Samuel Brown, the 
ancestor, compelled all his sons to learn and 
serve regular apprenticeship to trades, upon 
the plea that he did not know but that they 
might want them some day. Professional 
itien those days were few and far between — in 
the Revolution they, were Patriots. 

"The Flying Camp, the elite of Washing-

ton's army, were officered by men from the 
Settlement, of whom my Grand-father was 
one. When "Washington was driven out of 
New York, this force was put into Fort 
Washington, with orders to hold it to the last 
extremity — it was the forlorn-hope. After 
fighting from sunrise' to sunset — ^their ammu- 
nition being all expended — being surrounded 
by ten-thousand Hessians and English, and 
after giving them the clubbing of all their 
guns, they surrendered. It was an all-day 
fight by two thousand against ten-thousand. 

"Those that survived were put into an en- 
closure, and for three days and four nights, 
got nothing, to eat or drink. From their ex- 
posure, sickness, and starvation, they died like 
sheep in the shambles. On the fourth day, a 
mess of men, composed of six, received a 
handful of worm-eaten crackers. 

"Some time after this, the officers were pa- 
roled. General Brown being master of a 
trade, worked at that, and with the proceeds, 
bought bread for his men and thus saved 
many a life. This, fact, the veterans were not 
slow in giving publicity to, and it gave him 
such a hold upon them and the community, 
that it served as a carte blanche from them to 
him during his life, and he was continued by 
tliem, agaist his; wishes, in public life to near 
the end of his days." 



Reminiscences. 261 

"General Robert Brown, a prominent citi- 
zen of what is at present East Allen township, 
was a Lieutenant in Colonel McGaw's Regi- 
ment, Flying Camp, and was captured at the 
surrender of Fort Washing-ton, November 
16th, 1776. There he and his companions 
fought for forty-eight hours, without food or 
water, and when completely exhausted and 
when their ammunition was gone they surren- 
dered, but not before. They were then driven 
like cattle to a church, fitted up for a prison, 
in New York. 

"Of the two thousand soldiers, closed in 
that one building, two or three hundred died, 
and were dragged out, many of them still 
breathing, while being taken out for burial. 
A handful of wormy crackers were given to 
each man several hours after they had been 
shut up, 

"Robert Brown was let out on parole, with 
some others of the officers, after being incar- 
cerated in that loathsome place for three days. 
After this he was confined in New York, and 
received supplies from Mr. Pintard, and from 
Commissary-General Skinner. 

"He was exchanged at Elizabethtown, Jan- 
uary 25th, 1781, and returned to his home in 
Northampton county. 

"The title of General, he received from

holding that office in the militia. His old 
commissions from Governors Findley and Mc- 
Kean, are very antique looking papers. He 
was elected to the first Senate of Pennsylvania, 
and represented the county in the Legislature 
from 1783 to 1787. He was in 1796 sent as a 
representative to Congress, in which office he 
remained for eighteen years in succession, 
when he, finally, positively refused to allow 
his name to be used again, on account of old 
age, and bodily infirmities. Thomas J. Rodjers , 
of Easton, was his successor. 

"His valedictory address, to his constituents, 
in 1812, was excellent, and might well be pat- 
terned after, by many public men of our day, 
whose advantages of education have been 
much greater than were his. 

"Robert Brown's correspondents were

'Reminiscences. 263 

Tlie following, bearing upon the Revolu- 
tionary period of the Settlement's history, is 
from the pen of James Rosbrugh Learning, M. 
D., a great-grand-son of Rev. John Rosbrugh. 
It appeared in the "ITew York Observer" un- 
der date of January 4th, 1877. 

A PATRIOT PASTOR IN THE 

REYOLUTIOK 

Rev. John Rosbrugh. 

The account of the "Rev. John Rossburgh/' 
among Mr. Headley's papers on "The Clergy 
of the Revolution,", which appeared in the Ob- 
server August 12, 1875, was emended by Rev. 
Dr. Junkin in the issue of August 26, to 
which there was a rejoinder by Mr. Headley in 
that of September 9 following. 

Will you allow a direct descendant of Mr. 
Rosbrugh, at the close of the hundred years 
since his death, to give the tradition, handed 
down through the late tfudge James Rose- 
brugh, of Western 'New York, who was the 
eldest child, and who had a personal remem- 
brance of much of what he related? The 
writer also has in his possession two original 
letters from Rev. John Rosbrugh to his wife, 
which are embodied entire in this article, 
although extracts from them have been here- 
tofore published.

By these it is seen that both Mr. Headley 
and Dr. Junkin are wrong in spelling the 
the name — these are signed, " Jno. Koshrugh." 
The name is now spelled in Scotland, Canada, 
and the United States, Rosehrugh, as it has 
always been pronounced. It is probably a 
corruption of * "Roxborough." 

Rev. eFohn Rosebrugh was born in 1714, 
either in Scotland or the North of Ireland; 
accounts diiFer. Shortly before, or soon after, 
his birth, his parents removed to Ireland. 
While still young he came to America with 
his brother William, married, and lost his 
wife and child when he was yet but nineteen 
years old. Many of the descendants of Will- 
iam are still living in Canada, two of them 
prominent physicians. After the death of his 
wife, Mr. Rosbrugh entered Princeton College, 
of which he was one of the earliest graduates, 
as a reference to the catalogue will show. 

He entered the ministry of the Presbyterian 
Church, to which he and his ancestors belong- 
ed. He was first settled over the congrega- 
tions of Mansfield and Axford, now Oxford, 
New Jersey. About this time also he married 
his second wife, Jean Ralston, sister of John 
Ralston, afterwards well known in Pennsylva- 

* The name is sometimes so spelled in the early Minutes 
of the Presbyterian Church. — Author.

Ilia as a staunch supporter of the liberties of 
the colonies and of the Revolution. At Mans- 
field his eldest child, James, was born. 

In 1769 Mr. Eosbrugh accepted a call 
from the Allentown congregation, in ]!^orth- 
ampton county, Pa. Flis time, after his 
acceptance, was doubtless largely, if not exclu- 
sively, devoted to "The Settlement" and 
Greenwich. ''The Irish Settlement," or 
Craig's Settlement, is now Bath, Northamp- 
ton county, Pa, Here he lived, a devoted 
pastor, and three daughters and another son 
were born to him. 

In 1776, after the defeat at Port Lee (?), 
[Washington] Washington's dispirited army 
were retreating across the Jerseys. The time 
of enlistment of many of the men was expi- 
ring; a proclamation was issued from head- 
quarters, calling for reinforcements. These 
were dark days. One of these proclamations 
reached the "Settlement." Mr. Eosbrugh as- 
sembled his cogregation and read it to them, 
and urged them to respond. They met each 
day, but hesitated to leave their families un- 
protected from attacks from Indians. He 
persuaded them, preached to them. His text 
was from Judges 6 : 23 — "Curse ye Meroz, 
said the angel of the Lord : curse ye bitterly 
the inhabitants thereof; because they came 



26t) Beminiscences. 

not to the help of the Lord, to the help of the 
Lord against the mighty." 

When he had finished the sermon he sol- 
emnly declared to his people that "he could 
die in the full faith of what he had preached, 
the next moment." At last they consented to 
go if he would be their commander. He in- 
tended to go as chaplain, hut this proposition 
was new, and he desired to coufer with his 
wi:fe before answei-fng. When Mrs. Rosbrugh 
heard their request, she said, "Then go." 

In the morning they met again at the meet- 
ing house in the "Settlement," but the people 
had been home with their families, and were 
again undecided. Mr. Rosbrugh told all who 
felt it to be their duty to stay to go home and 
to take oare of all that remained, but that , all 
Avho felt as he did, that it w^s their duty to go 
to the relief of their country, would follow him ; 
then, putting a musket to his shoulder, he 
marched doMai the lane from the meeting 
house into the road, and every man followed 
and fell into line. His son James, a boy ten 
years old, rode his gray horse by his side until 
they had passed on over the hill, wh^u he lif- 
ted the boy from the horse, and, kissing him, 
told him to go home to his ma, and be a good 
Iwy till he should come back. He never saw 
his father again. These scenes Judge Rose- 
brugh frequently related. They were stamped 



lieniiniiicences, 267 

upon his memory. According to tradition, 
the men were formed into a battallion, and Mr. 
Kosbrugh was elected Major. When he 
reached the army he gave up his command 
and was commissioned chaplain. The follow- 
ing is his first letter to his wife : 

"My Dearest Companion — I gladly embrace 
ye opportunity of telling you that I am still 
yours, and also in a tolerable state of health, 
thro' ye tender Mercy of our Dear Lord. The 
important crisis seems to draw near, which I 
trust may decide the query whether Ameri- 
cans shall be slaves or free men. May God 
grant ye latter, however dear it may cost. An 
engagement is expected in a few days. All 
our company are in Philadelphia in health 
and in good spirits. The}'- are under the com- 
mand of General Putnam, and it is expected 
that they will be ordered to ye Jerseys to-mor- 
row or next day. I cannot write much at 
present, only that we have had some encour- 
aging news from ye Jerseys, but whether true 
or false, we cannot determine. 

"My dearest Creature, ye throne of Grace is 
free and open; I trust you have an interest 
there ; it will be to your interest and happi- 
ness to live near ye Throne; you will find ye 
way of duty ye only way of safety. Farew^ell 
for awhile. Please to present my compli-

In the obituary notice of Judge Rosebrugh, 
of Grovel and, Livingston county, N". Y., in 
the Presbyterian of December 14th, 1850, a sec- 
ond letter, written the day after Christmas, is 
quoted from as follows : 

"I have rec'd this afternoon a commission 
sent me by the Council of Safety to act as 
chaplain of IsTorthampton county militia, and 
am now entered upon the duties of my office. 
O that God would enable me to be faithful !" 

The writer remembers, when a boy in Judge 
Rosebrugh's house, seeing a letter from Rev. 
John Rosbrugh (probably the one from Avhich 
this extract was taken) to his wife, saying that 
he had purchased a bushel of salt for sixty- 
three dollars, which he wished her to divide 
among the congregation. This letter also 
enclosed a printed handbill, giving an ac- 
count of atrocities committed by' British 
officers, which he believed were not exage- 
rated.

The third and last letter is in the possession 
of the writer. It was written in the open air, 
— it is said upon horseback, — on the 27th of 
December, and is as follows :

this copy show where the paper is gone. It is

w6rn, and one can imagine haW many times it 
has been read and moistened with tears. 

From this date there is no written account 
of that time. They were under the command 
of Gen. Putnam on Christmas,— were probably 
ordered to join Gen. Cadwalader, at Bristol, 
to cross the Delaware into the Jerseys, to op- 
-ei'ate with Col. Griffin against Count Donoss, 
leader of the Hessians, where they arrived on 
the morning of the 27th. He was killed, xm. 
the 2d day of January, 1777, near the stone 
bridge over the Assunpink, a small stream 
which passes through the border of Trenton 
aad empties into the Delaware. 

The account of his death comes from Capt. 
Hays, who was in command of the "Settle- 
ment" militia. They were retreating, and 
Mr. Rosbfugh, coming to the tavern near the 
bridge, and, being weary, got off his horse and 
fastened him under the shed and went into 
the house for refreshments-^no doubt to get a 
cup of tea, of which he was fond. While at 
the table the cry was heard "that the Hessians 
were coming." Mr. Rosbrugh ran out for 
his horse, but found that it had been stolen. 
He then went to the bridge, but cannon were 
placed to sweep it, with orders to let no one 
pass, and the men were already breaking it up. 
•He then went hall a mile down the stream to 



'Rewbiniseemes. 271 

a ford, but found it in possesion of the enemy. 
He turned back into a piece of woods, when 
he was met by a platoon of Hessians, under 
command of a British officer. He surrender- 
ed, and offered his gold watch and his money 
in gold for them to spare his life on his fanai- 
ly's account. But, seeing they were preparing 
to kill him notwithstanding, he knelt down at 
the root of a tree, aad, it is said, was praying 
for his enemies, when the order was given and 
he was bayonetted. The officer then went to 
the same tavern which Mr. Rosbrugh had left 
so short a time before, and showing the watch, 
boasted that he had killed a rebel parson. 
The woman who kept the place knew Mr. 
Rosbrugh, and recognized the watch, and said: 
"You have killed that good man, and what a 
wretched thing you have done for his helpless 
family this day." This enraged the officer, 
and he threatened to kill her if she said more, 
and then he ran away, as if fearing pursuit. 
Capt. Hays found the body where it lay, and 
buried it there, as he found it, wrapped in a 
cloak. Sometime afterwards, Mr. Duffield, 
afterwards Dr. Duffield, of Philadelphia, and 
grandfather of the late Dr. Duffield, of 
Detroit, also a chaplain, took up the body and 
removed it. to Philadelphia. They found 
seventeen bayonet holes through his waistcoat, 



272 Rem'miscences. 

and one bayonet broken in his body ; also 
three saber slashes through his horse-hair wig, 
which he wore, as was customary at that time. 
Fresh blood flowed from the wounds, which 
was looked upon as strange. Mr. Duffield 
had been tutor at Princeton, and no doubt 
was personally acquainted with Mr. Kosbrugh , 
and was prompted by friendship to give his 
body decent burial. 

Dr. Junkin states that Mr. Thos. Kennedy 
saw Mrs. E-osbrugh and her daughter on their 
way to^the second burial, which took place in 
Father Cooley's churchyard, a few miles out 
of Trenton. 

It would be pleasant for Mr. Eosbrugh's 
descendants to believe that his body is resting 
in this quiet and beautiful place, but as Mr. 
Kennedy was certainly mistaken in regard to 
Mrs. Rosbrugh and her daughter attending 
the burial there, it is probable that the other 
was also an error. Judge Rosebrugh, who 
lived with his mother until a man grown,knew 
nothing of his mother's going to the second 
burial, and his eldest sister, the late Mrs. 
Ralston, was then but a child, younger than 
himself, and he believed the body of his father 
was taken to Philadelphia, but where buried 
was not known. 

Mr. Headley gave an extract from his 
will, made when he had decided to venture 



lieminiscmces. 273 

his life for his cottfitry, wMch is a fit ending to 
tMs article: 

"Having received many singular blessings 
fpom Almighty God in this land of my pil- 
grimage, more especially a loving wife and 
five promising children, I do leave and be- 
queath them all to the protection and mercy 
of God, from whom I rec'd them; being en- 
couraged thereto by God's gracious direction 
and faithful promise — (Jeremiah 49 : ll)-^- 
'Leave thy fatherless children : I will preserve 
them alive : and let thy widows trust in me.' " 

From a tax list for 1780, we learn the ap- 
proximate number and influence of the^ Irish 
Settlement people among the inhabitants of 
th^ part of the county, at the close of the 
Revolution. From a list of 190 taxables in 
Allen township, we recogDize the following 38

proprietor), in order to avoid litigation, remo- 
ved from their farms; sonie to the Genesee 
country, some to the Redstone country, and 
some to the Susquehanna; and thus it happen- 
ed that the names of the original settlers, save 
a few, such as the Homers, the Clydes, and

THE SETTLEMENT 
ACADEMY. 

From the "Report of the Superintendent of 
Public Instruction" of Pennsylvania, for the 
year 1877, we make the following extract. 

"In 1785, an Academy was erected in Allen 
township, (now East Allen,) on the Monoeacy 
creek, about a mile south of the borough of 
Bath, in the center of what is known as the 
'Irish Settlement.' A number of the citizens 
in the settlement were anxious that their sons 
should have better advantages of acquiring an 
education than the schools at that time in the 
neighborhood afforded. In view of which 
they raised money for the erection of the buil- 
ding by voluntary contributions. The school 
was commenced immediately after the comple- 
tion of the building, with Robert Andrews, 
A. Mw, a graduate of Trinity College, Dublin, 
as principal. In this academy, among others, 
George Wolf,, who subsequently became Gov- 
ernor of this State, and the unflinching friend 
of the present common school system, received 
a classical education. A debating society was 
also connected with this school, and it is said 
that George, with a number of young men, 



Heminiscmces. 277 

. who came out from Easton, on horseback, 
took an active part, in the debates. On relin- 
quishing his studies under Mr. Andrews, he 
acted as principal in the academy with credit. 
"The old academy was, in 1826, abandoned 
for school purposes. It had, however, exerted 
a potent influence upon the people in the en- 
tire community, and impressed on them the 
importance of a higher education. It was un- 
der Presbyterian control, and its influence had 
not a little to do with the establishment of 
Lafayette College, in 1826. This academy is 
still standing, although it has been dismanteled, 
but the substantial exterior, with moss covered 
roof, presents nearly the same appearance it 
did three quarters of a century ago, when fre- 
quented by such men as George Wolf, Thomas 
McKeen, and others who have since 
occupied prominent tpositions in the world." 
p. 437. 

By referring to the Author's history of the 
Settlement church, p. 79, the reader will learn 
that the Academy was definitely set apart for 
a house of worship, in 1813. 

The Author's father attended school in the 
building during the latter days in which it 
was used for such purposes. He was born in 
1806, and when about seventeen years, of age 
studied there, which would indicate that it 
was used for school, as well as church purpose a, 



278 lieminiscences. , J 

i 

as late as 1823. Under date of February 
16th, 1878, he says : 

"As regards the Academy, I can remember 
going to school in it. I think the little frame 
school house [near by and to take the place of 
the Academy for snhool purposes] w^s built 
when I was about seventeen years old. I stud- 
ied grammar in it [Academy] under 
Thomas Moffat, I think, Vv^hen I was about 
that age. I can give you the names of some 
of the teachers who taught in the Academy 
before that : — William G. Scott, who married 
Miss Lattimer; William Boyd, brother of Dr. 
Boyd; Mr. Kellog, from Bucks county; and ; 
Mr. Price, who married Miss Brown, daughter 
of Dr. Boyd's first wife. These are all I can 
remember. It was, however, nothing more 
than a common school. It had ceased to be 
used as an academy before my day. I think I 
can remember to have heard that it was pro- 
cured from Thomas McKeen,but in what way, 
I do not remember to have heard. I remem- 
ber that there was a tolerably good library 
there when I was a boy, and it was removed 
to John Wilson's. I remember that I borrow- 
ed some books out of it while it was at Mr. 
Witeon'g, but I do not know what became of 
it."

ROSEBRUGHS. 

The following sketclies have been famished 
by James Rosebrugh Learning, M. D., great- 
gr^nd-son of Rev. efohn 'Roabrugh.— Author. 

The following is the account of the family 
of James Rosebrugh, and of Margaret Wilson 
his wife, as taken down at his dictation by his 
grand-son, James Rosebrugh, at his home in 
Groveland, in 1839. 

Rev. John Rosebrugh was born in the 
K'orth of Ireland in 1724 — ^the month and day 
not known. He came to America when quite 
young and settled in Kew Jersey. He was 
married first when but nineteen, and his wife 
died at the birth of their first child, which 
died at the same time. His wife's christian 
name was Sarah, but her curname is not 
known. His second wife's name was Jane 
Ralston of Allen township, l^orthampton 
county. Pa. James Ralston, her father, was a 
man of great enterprise, real worth and piety. 
He died in July 1776, ared 76 years. Mary 
Cummock was the name of his wife. Samuel

and John — ^their sons; and Jane andLetitia — 
their daughters. Samuel was the oldest son. 
John was a member of the Provincial Con- 
gress through the Revolutionary war, a worthy 
man and a good ruling elder. He was also a 
member of the convention which formed the 
old constitution or articles of confederation. 
He died in 1795, aged 65 years, much lamen- 
ted by all who knew him. 

John Ealston's wife was Christiana King, a 
daughter of JameS King and Mary Walker 
his. wife. Letitia Ralston married Capt. Ben- 
jajfiinrWallaqe, who was taken prisoner with 
General Brown by the British at, Long Island 
in the Revolutionary war. 

Rev. John Rosebrugh had but one brother 
in America— his name was "William, and he 
resided in 'New Jersey. Robert and John 
were his sons. After "William^s death, .fohn, 
the youngest son, went and lived with his 
father's brother (Rev. John Rosebrugh, after 
whom he was named), until he was of age, 
when he returned to Kew Jersey and was 
married and moved to Canada where he died. 

Rev. John Rosebrugh had five children; 
James, Lettice, Mary, Sairah, and John. 
James was born April 24th, 1767,'" at Mans- 
field "Woodhouse, New Jersey, on the creek 
Muscan-knee-conk. Letitia was born the 12th 



BmrnisGemes, %kb 

of April, 1769, at the satne place. Mary was 
horn in Allen townsMp, ]S"ortliampton Co*., Pa. 
Sarah and John were borii at the same placei. 

James Rosebrugh married Peggie Wilson, 
October 18th, 1792; Peggie "Wilson was the 
daughter of- Charles Wilson and Margaret 
McKair his wife. Charles Wilson's father's 
name was Hugh, who lived in Scotland^ ahd 
from thence moved to the l^orth of Ireland, 
and from there moved to America and pur- 
chased a large tract on the Canasauca creek, 
which ran through it. It was afterwards divi- 
ded into six large farms, all of which has at 
the present time passed out of the possession 
of the family. 

Hugh Wilson's wife's name was" Sarah 
Ackey [Craig?]. Her brother, William Ack- 
ey, was a Captain under king William, who 
was a Protestant and fighting against his 
father, king James, a Roman Catholic, at the 
Boyne Water in Ireland. The army was 
commanded by Duke Shamburg. Brave 
Duke Shamburg lost his life in crossing the 
Boyne Water, which caused momentary con- 
sternation amOng his men, when 

"King William said, be not dismayed 

At the loss of our cOiiimander ; 
For God will be yovir king to-day, 
And I will be a general under."

Sketch of the Life of JAMES 
ROSEBEUGH, with Anecdotes. 

James Rosebrugh, son of Rev. John Rose- 
brugh and Jean Ralston Rosebrugh, was born 
April 24th, 1767. His father was the pastor 
of the Presbyterian congregation at Oxford 
and Mansfield Woodhouse, !N"ew Jersey. Af- 
ter the birth of his sister Lettice, his father 
moved to "Forks of Delaware," in 1772. 
Rev. John Rosebrugh had supplied the con- 
gregation in Allen township — "The Settle- 
ment" — since 1769, and became the Stated- 
Supply in 1770. 

James remembered going with his father to 
the Meetinghouse in December, 1776, when 
in his ninth year, and was witness of what 
took place upon that interesting occasion. 
His father after earnest conversation with his 
people, took a musket and putting it to his 



Bemmiscences. ■. 317 

shoulder, said; "All who believe it is their 
duty to go to their country's assistance, will 
follow me," and marching down the lane, all 
followed him. James rode the pastor's gray 
horse by his side until they arrived at the 
brow of the little hill in the main road, when 
his father took him from the horse and kiss- 
ing him told him to go home to his mother 
and be a good boy until his father should re- 
turn. He never saw his father again, but his 
Godly mother brought up all her children in 
the principles of eminent piety and patriotism. 
W^hen James was growing toward manhood, 
he felt the need of a better education than was 
afforded by "The Settlement," and he began 
to look around for the means of its accom- 
plishment. He could not leave his mother 
with his three sisters and a young brother to 
go to a distant school, consequently he must 
endeavor to establish a superior school in the 
vicinity. It was necessary to raise money to 
build a house and hire a teacher. Young 
Rosebrugh went among his neighbors and 
friends and succeeded in getting the means for 
building a commodious stone building, long 
afterwards known as "The Academy," which 
was also frequently used as a place of worship. 
An accomplished teacher was employed and 
the project was a success, many receiving 



] 

818 B&mniscenees. * 

wi-fehin its academic walls such advantage® in 
learning as before could only be had by going 
away from home to a distant city. Many of 
its scholaFS were fitted for usefulness, some 
became distinguished — among others George 
Wolf, the great Governor of Pennsylvania. 
When James Rosebrugh went to old Mr. 
Wolf tO' get his subscription for the building 
and teacher, and to get him to promise to 
send George to school, he first met with a. re- 
fusal. Mr. Wolf said "George" had already 
as good' an education as he had, and he had 
done well enough. But, said young Rose- 
brugh, "dont you want to give George a 
chance to rise in the world ? If he has an edu- 
cation, he may be Governor of the State." 
Mr. Wolf laughed at the idea of "his George" 
being Governor, but he subscribed. George 
went to the school and became one of its best 
graduates, George studied law, and after his 
admission to the bar, fell into dissolute habits, 
and his disappointed friends feared that all 
was lost. In order to save him from the 
dreadful fate which threatened him, they 
nominated him as a candidate for the Steite 
Legislature, and appointed a committee to 
wait upon him for his acceptance of the nomi- 
nation. The committee found him stupidly 
drunk m th^ tavern yard, and it was some time 



before they could make him comprehend their 
errand. Finally raising himself upon Ma 
hand, he said "Gentlemen, I understand yo^r 
object, and I trust you may not be disappoint- 
ed; I am drunk now and have been drunk 
three weeks, but I accept your nomination and 
will drink no more." He was elected, he 
kept his word, became a faithful and enlight- 
ened representative, and finally Governor, and 
laid the foundation for his reputation for wis- 
dom and integrity, so dear to all patriots. 

A family by the name of Hower were near 
neighbors : the father, advanced in years, died, 
and at the funeral the eldest son, of middle 
age, was inordinate in his expressions of grief. 
jSTo one could comfort him. At last Mr. Rose- 
brugh went to him and told him he ought not 
to grieve so inconsolably, for in the course of 
nature, his father could not have lived much 
longer. "Oh!" said the son sobbingly, "that 
is not what I cry for, but I am now the old 
Hower." 

October 18th, 1792, James Rosebrugh 
was married to Margaret, daughter of Charles 
and Margaret McKair "Wilson. Their first 
child, a daughter, Jane, was one year and a 
half old when the young family with all their 
effects started for the "Genesee Country ,"^ as 



320 Reminiscences. 

Western New York was then called— the "El 
Dorado" of those seeking new homes in the 
wilderness. They moved in covered wagons, 
driving their herds and flocks with them, en- 
camping wherever night overtook them as 
they journeyed through the almost trackless 
forest. After some weeks they arrived at 
their destination, the Genesee Valley, which 
extends from Lake Ontario about sixty miles 
southward. The Genesee Kiver, rising in 
Pennsylvania, crosses the State of l!^ew York, 
breaks through the rocky wall of a spur of the 
AUeghenies, at Portage, forming a series of 
falls of a few miles in extent, making a 
deep cut with bauks from one to four hun- 
dred feet high, then continuing its rapid 
course deep dowft between its high banks 
for ten or twelve miles, it enters the valley 
where Mount Morris now is, then Squaky 
Hill, and thenoe continues its peaceful 
course to the lake, meandering its serpentine 
course through a valley of great fertility 
and beauty. South of Mount Morris the 
valley extends about twenty miles to the 
hills, forming an amphitheatre, thftt close it 
in beyond Dansville. In this valley are the 
tributaries of the Genesee, the Canisceoga 
and Cashiqua creeks. It was into this 
beautiful valley that this small company of 
emigrants entered and came to a halt at the 



lleminiacenGes. 321 

foot of a wooded hill, which seemed to divide 
the valley at this point — Conesus lake on the 
east, with its valley and streams ; and on the 
west the level valley extended far away to the 
blue hills. To them it was the promised land 
and here they pitched their tents. On the 4th 
of July, 1795, the whole party on horseback, 
celebrated the young nation's nineteenth 
birthday by going up the hill among the 
groves of oak, chestnut, and hickory, to look 
for a home. Years afterward, Mr. Rosebrugh 
named this hill Groveland, when the land was 
divided into townships. When they were arrived 
at the summit, they had an extended view of 
20 to 30 miles to the south and west and north; 
they could look down upon the dense forest 
on the "flats," the level tops pf the trees wa^ 
ving like the "floor of the sea." They halted 
at a spring which formed a rivulet, running off 
into a little ravine, and the men alighted from 
their horses and with their cups dipped the 
cool bubbling water and gave the women to 
drink. Just then a rustling was heard, and 
looking around, they saw a bear in the tall 
grass standing upright, behind a log where he 
had been sleeping.. He seemed to b e earnestly 
watching them, but apparently becoming sat- 
isfied, he dropped down and slowly ambled 
away. All considered this a good omen, and

hhtk %\iQf fesdlv6d to build thdt house; but it 
W^s not tirltil the next spring that they were 
ready to to6ve liito the log palace. In the 
meantime they lived in theit encampment by 
a little stf eani, a little company of Indians be^ 
in^ their immediate neighbors. During tJhe 
Winter, being on intimate friend^ tetms, they 
became acquaihted trith some of the peculiar 
Indian customs. One Was that new-born in- 
fants are plunged into a running strekm, and 
to do this then, a hole had to be cut in the ice. 
In 'thfe spring df 1796 they took possession 
tirthdir house, and commenced to clear and 
ploiigli and plant for their future subsistence; 
btit iatitil they Were abk tb reap their own 
h&Vigst, ytr. Rosebtugh bad to buy corn from 
the Indians at Squaky Hill. This corn was 
of the sdft variety, and they prepared it as the 
Indians did, by bruising it in a kind of mortar, 
dihe wobds'Wel'e full of game, and the streams 
Wi^re 'Ml of fi^h, consequently they were in no 
Want. 

^The^CMief of Squaky Hill was- a noble speci- 
naen of manhood^-^seven feet tall, and was 
kiiown as ''Ta/ir Chief." H,e was naturally of 
afkind and^geintle spirit, and loved the ameni- 
ties' of civilised life, and he and Mr. Rose- 
brugh were «oon warm friends. One morn- 
ing as Mr. Rosebrugh was chopping wood 



Bemnmeiiiees. i^ 

before Ms door, he saw an Indian far away 
under the trees, coming towards him, and he 
soon recognized, by his great height, his dus- 
ky friend, who, after salutation, made "known 
his errand. The Indian had wounded a deer 
which had run t)ver the hill, and he desired 
his friend's dog to catch it. Mr. Eosebrugh 
dropped his axe and went with him and the 
deer was soon caught. The Tall Chief skinn- 
ed it, and then said, "When Yankee dog help 
Indian catch deer — w^ skin him — one quarter; 
but you my very good friend — ^I skin — ^give 
one Half;" then with his knife he divided the 
game in equal parts. 

At another time Tall Chief and his nephew 
Quaway stopped at dinner. Quaway helped 
himself with his own fork and spoon. Tall 
Chief checked him with a significant *'ugh tos 
cos" (not good), and then in Indian, explained 
that it was the custom of the whites to wait 
until they were helped. Tall Chief once told 
Mr. Rosebrugh to let him know if any Indian 
should steal anything, arid he would make 
him restore it. But, said 'Mr. Rosebrugh, it 
would be impossible to identify the thief. 
Yes, said Tall Chief, it is easy. I Will aisk 
each member of the tribe, and the guilty one 
will not deny it. 

Mr. Eosebrugh was &e first white ig^Mler'm 



324 lieminiscences. 

Grrovelaiid Hill, but there was a flourisliing 
village at "Williamsburgli, founded by Colonel 
Williamson; the "Wadsworth brothers were at 
Big Tree, now Geneseo, and these were his 
white neighbors. 

Mrs. Rosebrugh had been on a visit, or tea 
drinking, at Williamsburgh, and was return- 
ing on horseback at the close of the day. 
Just before ascending the hill, the path led 
across a ravine, in the bottom of which was a 
rapid stream or brawling brook. At this the 
horse stopped to drink, and she thought over 
the occurrences of the day. She heard a 
cracking noise which she supposed was made 
by the birds going to roost, but it left no im- 
pression on her mind nor awoke her from her 
reverie, when there was a piercing cry of an 
animal near by, of a terrific character. The 
horse crouched down, trembling with fear, 
and she could not force him to proceed un- 
til the cry was repeated, when he bounded 
out of the gully and dashed up the hill, 
Mrs. Rosebrugh holding fast to the mane 
with both hands and giving full rein to the 
horse, for she was aware that the animal 
was in pursuit by its cry, at which every 
time it was repeated, the horse increased its 
speed, until the open clearing was reached, 
when the cry ceased, but the horse ran on 
and leaped the bars before the house, land 



Menrndsoe/mee. ^£5 

Mr. Rosebr ugh opening tlle'doo^to see what 
was the matter, the horse thrust in its head 
and gave a snOrt of satisfaction at its escape. 
The animal was no doubt a panther^ 

Horses and dogs weije of great value, for if 
lost they were not easily replaced; indeed the 
livestock had to be carefully guarded against 
the attacks of wild beasts, and a strong coura- 
geous and faithful dog consequently, was the 
trusted sentinel in defending the flocks and 
herds gathered at night near the dwelling. 

Mrs. Rosebrugh, on horseback, on some er- 
rand, was accompanied by the faithful watch- 
dog. A rattlesnake, coiled up near the, path, 
attracted his attention, and he stopped to, bark 
at it, running around it, while the snake with 
its head elevated in the middle of the coil, 
turned as the dog went, never for a moment 
taking its eye off the dog. Mrs. Rosebrugh 
rode on thinking that the dog would grow 
tired of his fruitless attempt and follow her; 
but when out of sight, the dog's bark was 
quite as eager as when she was near. She 
turned and rode back and getting off the horse, 
she lifted a rock and cast it at the snake, ho- 
ping to kill it, but the stone falling near the 
snake, like a flash, attracted its attention, and 
in that instant, the dog seized it snd shook it 
to pieces, fragments flying in every direction. 



Quick &8 he had been, the snake had bitten 
hkn and his head soon began to swell. She 
went home with him immgdiately to take care 
of him, but iie disappeared and could nowhere 
be found, and all supposed he had gone off to 
die. However, after several days, he came 
from under the house, nearly starved, and 
with the hair fallen off his head. Mr. Rose- 
brugh found that the dog had dug a hole in 
the moist earth under the house, and had bur- 
ied his head in it, instinct teaching him to usq 
a sp6edy cure. Snakes would also bite horses 
and cattle, while feeding in the 'tall grass, and 
thus many were lost every year. The snake 
remaining quiet, coiled up and ready, would 
steike iat the animals' heads as they approached 
its seclusion. As swine escaped, and were 
known to feed upon the dead snakes, it was 
tbought that they were unaffected by the bite 
and poison, and on that account their presence 
in ihe woods was supposed to assist in ridding 
the lands of this secret and terrible enemy. 
Mr. Rosebrugh put these opinions to the test 
and found them fallacious. One day while 
chopping, he killed- a large snake and coiled'it 
up in/the path over which the herd of swine 
went out each morning to the forest, and re- 
turned again at night. "WTien evening came 
on, the herd were feturnihg, headed by the 



Memiimmm^* ^7 



old sow, their grunting couid be heard for a 
long distance; but when they approached, 
they were suddenly aware of the presence of 
their enemy, for they came to a halt, and with 
bristles up, their roaring noise was terrific. 
At last the mother-leader advanced cautiously 
until she could see the snake, when she imme- 
diately changed her note of call, and struck 
out into the woods, and went around the 
dreaded foe, and came into the path beyond^ 
her children following her, and then contin- 
ued their way home. It was evident that their 
ke'en sense of smell was their great protection, 
and that they avoided l^e enemy until they 
knew it was dead. 

When the snow malted in the spring of the 
year, the snakes crawled oUt of their dens and 
sunned themselves under- the warm side of 
some log. Following the Indian custom, the 
settlers set fire to 'the woods, and the serpents 
overtaken were unable to get out of the way, 
and thus many perished. The settlers jalso 
'congregated in the winter^ and hunted the 
snakes in their dens, and digging them out, 
found gr^at numbers of all kinds^ habituating 
-together, and in this way many more Were de- 
stroyed. ■■ ' . 

Mr. Bosebrughatidto, Andrew Ciilberts'dn,

alternately on each others land, for companion- 
ship. One day on Mr. Culbertson's land, they 
were reaping wheat with sickles, as the cus- 
tom then was. They had passed the stump of 
a tree, around which was much tall grass, in 
which were a few heads of wheat standing. 
Mr. Culbertson stepped back to cut them, but 
in a moment afterwards, called out that he was 
bitten. Mr. Eosebrugh killed the snake, 
which was crawling away, then stripped the 
bark off some young ash trees and made three 
bands and tied them above the place of the 
bite on the limb, then telling Mr. Culbertson 
to get home as soon as possible, he went into 
the woods in search of a weed believed by the 
Indians to be a certain antidote for the poison 
of the bite, the virtues of which he had 
learned from "Tall Chief." The remedy 
was soon found and was apparently effica- 
cious, yet it was months before the patient 
was able to attend to his farm work. 

Bears were plenty, but were harmless as 
a rule, unless attacked, or very hungry. 
Young pigs were their especial fondness; 
for these they prowled about. Their mo- 
tion seemed slow and was awkward, and 
Mr. Rosebrugh, to test their ability to get 
away, once hid behind a tree when he saw 
VLQ coming, and jumped out after it when

it passed, but it soan ran away from Mm, al- 
though, he ran with his utmost speed, and was 
swift afoot. 

Panthers were hidden away during the day 
time in the dense forest on the ttats, and in the 
deep gullies, up which they would come in the 
night to meet their mates and to hunt for food, 
screaming at intervals as they went. This cry 
in the distance sounded like the voice of a wo- 
man or that of a child.' It was not safe to 
answer this cry for it might attract the animal. 
One night cries were hefard in the distant gul- 
ly and coming nearer. Mr. Rosebrugh went 
to his woodpile and pounded upon a hollow 
log, the sound of which could be heard along 
way off, and would not attract the- panther j 
should it be one. In a short time the cry. 
could be recognized as human, and he went 
to them with a light and found friends from^ 
the Settlement who had lost their way. One 
day these friends sitting with Mrs. Rosebrugh, 
were surprised to hear her say to the bound 
girl; Go to the store and get some tea. But 
when they sat down to the table they found 
the tea was made from hemlock boughs, 
and that the store was the deep gully shad^ 
by hemlock trees.

up as by magic. Williamsburgh, the first set- 
tled, decreased; but Geneseo, Mount Morris, 
and Dansville, are beautiful to this day, but 
not more so than was that valley in the age of 
the first settlers. Mr. Rosebrugh became a 
leader among them naturally. He was their 
local justice of the peace, and he represented 
the great county of Ontario, which covered all 
the territory west of Cayuga bridge, in the 
state legislature at Albany. Here he became 
intimately acquainted with Martin Van Buren, 
afterwards President of the United States; 
Col. Young, Gren'l RoOt, and others then, and 
since prominent in the state. 

During the war of 1812, he went home from 
Albany and raised a company of his neighbors 
as volunteers — was elected Captain and went 
with them to the frontier under the proclama- 
tion of Gen'l Smith, who proposed an imme- 
diate invasion of Canada. But after weeks of 
impatient waiting and drilling, embarking and 
disembarking, and the foolish and unnecessary 
burning of Qneenstown, to their utter disgust, 
they were ordered into winter quarters. Their 
discontent was changed into despair by the 
breaking out of an epidemic of fatal tenden- 
cies. The disease was "Pneumonia Typhoidis," 
commenced in the British camp and spread 
through the American lines by contagion. 
Many of the volunteers were taken with it and 



Jlemmscefwes. 331 

died, others were sent home, disabled, among 
others Captain Rosebrugh, who ever after- 
wards suffered with cough in consequence. 
This "Epidemic," the only name by which it 
was known among the people, spread over the 
whole country, being carried to their homes 
by the returning soldiers. In about three 
years it had reached the Gulf of Mexico, where, 
losing its epidemic character, it became en- 
demic in southern cities, and in the last ten or 
twelve years has slowly crept northward again 
as a terrible scourge. No result of the war was 
so disasterous as the generation of this disease. 
Mr. Rosebrugh continued to perform his 
legislative duties at Albany, after the war had 
closed, and was elected a member of the con- 
vention for the revision of the organic law of 
the state, in 1821. when Livingston county 
was formed out of Ontario, Mr. Rosebrugh 
represented her in the legislature — ^was one of 
the county judges, and also the first surrogate, 
which office he held for many years, and this 
terminated his public life. His sons had 
grown up, and took the active management of 
the farm upon them, while he busied himself 
more particularly with his garden, his fruit- 
trees, his bees, his books, and corresponcience. 
Thus he passed the evening of his days. 
About four o'clock each morning he arose and 
took a brisk walk of three or four miles, then 



332 Beminiscmces. 

■(3ame back and liad a nap in his easy chair be- 
ibre breakfast. During the forepart of the 
day he busied himself in his garden, among 
his fruit-trees. In the afternoon he walked to 
the post-office, about a mile and a half distant, 
got his papers and correspondence, and return- 
ed to read and answer. Occasionally an old 
companion in the legislature would call upon 
him and spend a day or two in recounting 
scenes in which they had participated, at 
which the writer was an interested listener. 
Mr. Rosebrugh was a ready rhymer — a lover 
of Burns^s poetry, which he could repeat. This 
faculty he often used for the amusement of 
those around him in the legislature, and some- 
times a squib in rhyme, thrown off on the 
instant, was passed from hand to hand and 
copied, and passed again, and more than once 
had decisive effect upon the subject under con- 
sideration. His conversational powers were 
fine, enriched with anecdote, a good memory, 
and a happy manner, which was increased 
even by an impediment in his speech. Be- 
fore commencing to speak, his eyes would 
incessantly wixik and his under lip tremble 
for a few moments, but all hesitation would 
cease as soon as he began to talk. This 
prevented him from public speaking, but he 
gave the closest attention to the business, 
and was an efficient member. He was called 



to preside at county meetings, &c., which he 
could do so well and so acceptably. 

In 1845 his grand-children invited his friends 
and relatives to meet in his cherrytree grove 
to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of his arri- 
val in Groveland, on the: fourth of July. 
About two hundred were present. Reverend 
Lewis Cheeseman delivered an appropriate ad- 
dress, the Reverend Thomas Aikman opening 
with prayer and closing with the benediction. 
It was a time long to be remembered. 

Evenly and happily his life wore on until 
November 18th, 1850, when he passed to a 
better life. Mrs. Roaebrugh survived him a 
few years, eyen going back to the Settlement 
with Rev. Samuel Sturgis, to visit her aged 
brother, John Wilson, but now they rest side 
by aide in the gyaveya^d at the "Gully School- 
house^''' awaiting- the resurrection of the dead.

were employed. He gladly received them — 
showed them great attention — had their horses 
taken care of and supper prepared for them- 
selves. After a long evenings talk, instead of 
asking the young ministers to lead in devo- 
tions, he thought it would be a good thing to 
show them how well he could do it himself. 
His method was patriarchal. He first read a 
chapter in the Bible, which he explained to 
the family, then a version of the Psalms — 
lining it in singing, before prayer. This night 
the chapter in course was the 4th of Numbers; 
"badgers' skins," he read beggars' skins. 
WTien he had finished reading, he turned to the 
family and said ; There is nothing of particular 
importance in this chapter, it merely goes to 
show the blessedness of the gospel dispensa- 
tion, for now each man can enjoy his religion 
under his own vine and fig tree, but then, just 
so soon as a man became too poor to pay his 
tithes, off went his skin to be used in covering 
the articles in the tabernacle. 

Rev. John Rosebrugh, in making his pasto- 
ral visits, came to a widow living alone. He 
found her at her devotion and did not disturb 
her until she was through. She read the 
scripture, then lined a Psalm as she sang it, 
before prayer. He asked her why she lined 
the Psalm, as there were none to hear her

when she was alone. "Ah !" said she "it is 
sa quiet I fain would dight my gab twice wi it." 



Uiiw^v/ 1 * DISPOSITION 

OF THE CLYDE ESTATE. 



The following from the pen of James Kerr 
Dawes, Esq., published in the Easton "Free 
Press" for January 26th, 1877, will serve to 
connect the Settlement of the past with our 
own day, and thus suitably close these reminis- 
cences. — Author. 



Deaih of Mrs. Nancy Boyd. 

Through inadvertence we failed to prepare 
in time for last week's Free Press a notice of 
the death of Mrs. Nancy Boyd, who died at 
her farm residence in the "Settlement," East 
Allen Township, near Bath, on Friday, the 
12th inst., at the advanced age of ninety-one 
years. 

The death of this aged lady is an event de- 
serving of more than a passing notice, as she 
is almost the last of the links connecting the 
old residents of the "Settlement" with our 
present history. 

The Irish "Settlement" exists now only in 
memory, but was once well known over this 
section of the country, being, as our older 



\ 



Bemniscences. 337 

people remember, so called because of a. colony 
of Scotch-Irisb Presbyterians, who, with, trifty 
forethought, chose the rich limestone fields 
along the MonOcacy and Calasaqua as the place 
from which should spread the faith of the fol- 
lowers of John Calvin. The "Settlement" 
extended from what is now Bath to Weayers- 
ville, and had a church and school at the 
Weaversville end, Horners, which church is 
yet used on alternate Sundays, and where also 
is the old burying ground, with its old tomb- 
stones telling of those who lived and died over 
a century ago, in which one is seen telling 
where is ths grave of Mrs. Horner, tomahawk- 
ed in early morning by the savage Indians in 
the days when even so near Easton did those 
red men maraud, and in which burying ground 
were last week deposited the remains of Mrs-. 
Boyd, surrounded by the graves of those who 
nearly a century ago were her playmates smld 
friends ; at the other end of the Settlement, 
about a mile from Bath, was the "Acadeimy/' 
where church was held every alternate Sunday 
until a few years ago, when the erection of the 
church at Bath caused an abandonment of the 
"Academy," and a transfer of divine service 
to the more elegant and comfortable church at 
Bath. The land on which this "Academy" 
stands was, by the way, a gift to thecongrega-

tion by the late Col, Thomaa McKeen, 
Eastou. 

Mrs. Boyd was nearly ninety-one years of 
age, having been born April 22, 1786. She 
was of pure Scotch-Irish descent ; in the old 
graveyard near "Weavers ville can be seen 
gravestones which tell of Michel Clyd and of 
Biddy Clyd, his wife, who lived in the "Settle- 
ment about 1740, and whose son, James Clyde, 
was the father of Nancy Clyde, the Mrs. Boyd 
of this article, and the uncle of the James 
Clyde known to the elders of the county as 
'Squire Clyde, of the "Settlement," who died 
ten or twelve years since, at an advanced age. 
This elder James Clyde, son of Michel, was 
married to Betty Kerr, she being the daughter 
of James K^rr, who was the father of James 
Kerr, the father of James Kerr of the "Settle- 
ment," known to many of our older residents, 
who died about twenty-four years since, this 
Betty Kerr's father being the great-great-great 
grandfather of the writer. James Clyde, the 
father of Mrs. Boyd, had three [four] children, 
mz. : UsTancy, J*an<e the wife of the late Hon. 
Jaones Kennedy, s&r many years Associate 
.Judge of this county, and Rebecca wife of 
Arthur Mulholland— [and John, who died sin- 
gle.] Nancy was married to Dr. John Boyd, 
a resident in the Settlement, but who seems 
not to have been a favorite with his father-in-

law, for we find that in Ms will, while he gave 
his other daughters their share of his eatat© 
out and out, he entailed the portion of Mrs. 
Boyd, and the land thus in 1827 tied up has 
just, by the death of Mrs. Boyd, been released. 
James Clyde was a man of wealth, for when 
he died, besides Easton Bank stock, Delaware 
Bridge stock, bonds, mortgages, wood lots, 
etc., etc., he left three farms, one to each 
daughter, Mrs. Kennedy and Mrs. Mulholland 
getting theirs in fee, or, as the people say, "out 
and out," while Mrs. Boyd's he entailed, givr 
ing her a farm of about 200 acres of the richest 
land in the most fertile portion of the county, 
for her use during her life, and then providee 
as to the disposition of it after her death^se 
follows, and we copy his words, for thereby 
hangs a tale almost as full of dramatic intere^ 
as one of the fashinable novels of the presenit 
day. After the devise of the farm for life, to 
Mrs. Kancy Boyd, he says: 

"And from and after the deceiase of my said 
daughter l^Tancy I give and devise the said 
piece of land unto the child or children of my 
said daughter ISTancy living at her death, and 
the child or children of any deceased child tp 
be divided between or amongst them share 
and share alike as tenants in common, and not 
as joint tenants, but in such maimer that tihe 



340 Beminiscences. 

children of any deceased child shall take 
amongst them, if more than one, the same 
share, and no more, which would have been 
taken by said deceased child if said deceased 
child had survived the said Nancy, subject to 
certain dower charges during the life of said 
Nancy's mother, and under and subject to an 
annuity or yearly sum of Fifty dollars to be 
annually paid to John Boyd, the husband of 
my said daughter Nancy, butif my said daugh- 
ter Nancy shall not have a child or other lineal 
descendant living at her death, then I give 
and devise said piece of land unto all the chil- 
dren of my two daughters Rebecca and Jane 
living at the time of the death of my daughter 
Nancy share and share alike as tenants in 
common, and not as joint tenants — subject 
to the dower to Mrs. Clyde and the annuity 
to Dr. Boyd." [The italics are own (Mr. 
Dawes's). — ^Ed.] 

The will was made August 22, 1822, and 
was duly "proved" November 16, 1827, 
nearly fifty years ago, and from that time 
till last week this property has been used 
and occupied by Mrs. Boyd, under the life- 
provision, a length of time to which few life 
estates ever reach. 

When a man makes a will it is to be pre- 
sumed he knows what he wants to say and 
says it accor dingly, but even newspaper men 



Heminiscences. 341 

sometimes make mistakes, and say, or as they 
put it next day, "the types make them say" 
things not exactly as they meant them, and we 
rather imagine that old Mr. Clyde, in 1822, 
when he had his will written, fifty-five years 
ago, didn't mean his will to read just exactly 
as the scrivener wrote it. Those who have 
carefully read the above will notice that great 
care and the necessary words were used to 
give the estate, after Mrs. Boyd*s death, to her 
children, and in the case of the death of any of 
them, to her children's children, .&c., thus pro- 
viding for his great-grandchildren by his 
daughter IS'ancy and so on, but when the re- 
versionary interest, in case of Mrs. Boyd's dy- 
ing without lineal descendants, is disposed of, 
the same care is not used and he gave this 
farm, in that event to the children of his 
daughters, Mrs. Kennedy and Mi's. Mulhol- 
land, living at the time of Mrs. Boyd's death. 
It is to be presumed that the old gentleman 
meant that all his grandchildren should share 
alike, and also that if any died after his death, 
and before Mrs. Boyd, that their children 
should take their parents' share, but he didn't 
say so; he said, "the children of his daughter 
* * * * alive at Mrs. Boyd's death," and thus 
the law takes it. The difference may at first 
sight appear but trifling, but in its consequen- 
ces it has become most important. • 



3l42 Hemmiscences, 

At the time of bis deatk Mk. Cl]|;de b^d eix 
graadcbildiren, one tbe son of Mve,^ Judge 
Kennedy,, five the ebildren of Mrs. MulhoUand. 
It will be noticed that he gave his grandchil- 
dren theix: ports share and share alike, the 
share of Mrs. Kennedy's son being thus only 
one-sixth instead of one-half of the estate, and 
the share of the children of Mrs; MulhoUand 
being one-«ixth each, instead of only one-tenth. 
This provision, it was at the time rumored, 
was made at the suggestion of Mrs. Kennedy, 
who told her father when he announced his in- 
tention of entailing Nancy's share, that she 
didn't desire her son to have more than an 
equal share with the rest of the grandchildren. 
As tbeseqiael shows, her good intentions were 
fojj naught, for neither he nor his children get 
auiinch of tibje farm. 

After the will was pro ved. the lawyers gra\»e- 
ly informed the heirs that under the will only 
those of the five grandchildren who might sur- 
vive Mrs* Boyd would take the estate, and 
that if any were to die their children would 
not get the share: their par>ent would have been 
entitled to; lie announcement excited no little 
flutter amongst the heirs, and we have heard 
it. rumored that a oonsultation was held on the 
matter and a plan discussed of an agreement 
ajoaongst the grandchildren to make the prop- 
erty, by agreement, follow what was judged 



BemrmcmceSi 3^3 

to be the old gentleman's desire, and the ©Ml- 
dreii of the grandchildren, in case of theif pa- 
rents' death, to take their parents' sbai?e. 
Whether the rumor was correct or not, the 
agreement was never consummated^ and the 
will stood as written. The consequences have 
been far reaching, for Mrs. Boyd died child^ 
less, and the provision made in case of that 
event coming to pass, went into effect. But 
the fifty years during which Mrs. Boyd survi- 
ved her father were productive of great chan- 
ges in the several families. Br. Boydj h^ 
husband, died many years ago, and so the an- 
nuity to him of $50 never took effect. . When 
Mr. Clyde died he had, as before stated,, six 
grandchildren, viz^; James Clyde Kennedy, 
son of his daughter Jane, and John, William^ 
Eliza Ann, Almira, and Sarah, children of hia 
daughter, Rebecca MulhoUand. Of these onl^ 
one survived Mrs. Boyd, and to that one th^ 
estate descended, the children of the rest being 
excluded. Had however this one also died, 
and she is a lady advanced in years, then, in- 
stead of the estate going to her and her chil- 
dren, it would have taken an entirely different 
course, and would have gone to all the gireaiJ- 
grandehildren, none of whom now get any- 
thing. Of these six grandchildren (1), James 
Clyde Kennedy was married to a Miiss Hetty

Sherred, of Warren county, N. J., and died, 
leaving three children, Dr. Samuel Kennedy, 
of Warren county, Mrs. Jane Clark, wife of 
Dr. Clark, of Belvidere, and Mrs. Sarah Corss, 
wife of Charles Corss, Esq., a prominent law- 
yer of Lock Haven, and a graduate and atone 
time a tutor in Lafayette College. Mrs. Het- 
ty Kennedy survived her husband and was 
with Mrs. Boyd at the time of her decease; 
(2), Dr. John MulhoUand was married to Miss 
Elizabeth Kern, of Bath, sister of Dr. George 
Kern, and died, leaving his widow and one 
child surviving him, viz. : Jfary Rebecca, wife 
of Hiram B. Fish, Esq., one of the members 
of the Legislature from this county, both of 
whom are now living at Bath, in this county; 
(3.) Dr. William J/ulhoUand was married to 
MiBa Elizabeth Van Antwerp, of Asbury, N. 
J., and died at BrooMin, N. Y., where he 
had taken up his residence, leaving survi- 
ving him a widow and four children; (4.) 
Almira was married to William Bloeckly, of 
Bath, and died without children, her hus- 
band marrying again. Our townsman, Ed- 
ward Blceckly, is a son of this William 
Bloeckly by the second marriage. (5.) Eliza 
Ann Avas married to Alexander Miller, and 
died, leaving two sons, Arthur, residing 
with Jfrs. Boyd at the time of her death, 
and John Clyde, residing at Rising Sun, 



Reminiscences. 346 

Dade county, Ga. Mrs. Boyd left a will, in 
which, after sundry specific bequests of family 
relics to other grand-nephews and nieces, she 
made these two Millers her legatees, and of 
which will she made them the Executors. (6.) 
Sarah was married to Robert McDowell, and 
resides at Slatington, Lehigh county, her hus- 
*band being Superintendent of the Lehigh 
Slate Company; to her the estate, by the sin- 
gular provision of the will descends, she being 
the only surviving grandchild. She is a lady 
between sixty-five and seventy years of age, 
and has four daughters, one the wife of David 
McKenna, of the Slate Company, one the wife 
of Wm. H. Gish, Cashier of the Slatiugton 
Bank, one the wife of Lieutenant Jefferson K. 
Moser, of the United States !N"avy, one single 
daughter, and one son, Robert Murray Mc- 
Dowell, well known in the fashionable circles 
of our city during his course of study at Lafay- 
ette College ; Mrs. McDowell has several grand- 
children. 

"We scarce think that when old Mr. Clyde 
directed that his daughter Nancy should only 
have a life estate in her farm, he supposed that 
that life estate would last for fifty years, and 
that before the residuary bequest took effect a 
half century should have passed, and the fifth 
generation be present to witness the finale of 
the singular, or erroneous provision of his will.

JOHN K. HAYS. 

Died in Williamsport, Pa. on the morning 
of March 11th, 1878, in the full assurance of a 
blessed immortality, John K. Hays, in the 
eighty-second year of his age. He was the son, 
and only child of John Hays, Esq., formerly 
High Sheriff of Lycoming county. Sheriff 
Hays was from Northampton county, Pa., and 
was married, on the 25th of May, 1795, to 
Miss Jane Horner, of the same county, and 
soon after emigrated to Lycoming county, 
where he had previously purchased a farm on 



Appendipc. ^.| 

the west side of Lycoming creek, about five 
miles north of T^illiamsport. There he settled, 
and there John K. Hays was born Januaipy 
15th, 1797. At a suitable age he was sent to 
the Classical School of Rev '.Chomas Hood, •ol' 
Buffalo Valley, Pa. Among his fellow etu^ 
dents were Dr. James S. Dougal, of Milton, 
and Dr. William Wilson, JFlavel Clingan, 
Thomas T. Smiley, and other noted men in 
Pennsylvania; and afterwards finished his ed^ 
ucation under Rev. Dr. J. F. Grier, of Reading. 
Under such influences young Hays was educa- 
ted, and the seed thus sown in his early child- 
hood a rich, ripe harvest bore in after years. 
Descended from a stock in whose breast glow- 
ed an indomitable love of liberty, his anoestore 
espoused the cause of civil freedom in this 
country. His grandfather, John Hays,, .4y,» 
was an elder in the Presbyterian church of the 
Forks of the Delaware, (now Alleutown,) in 
which the lamented Rev. John Rosbjirg ofl^Lci- 
ated. The manly piety and heroic devotioii 
to the cause of liberty induced this reverend 
pastor, with his elders and the members of his 
church, to organize a. company, and. at the ap- 
pointed time shouldered their muskets, and. pro- 
ceeded to Philadelphia. Their pastor wentiin 
the capacity of a private soldier. During . the 
retreat of our army through 'New Jersey this 
patriotic pastor was most inhumanly murdered 



358 Appendix. 

by a drunken British soldier, and left welter- 
ing in his blood. tFohn Hays soon found the 
mangled body of his beloved minister, and at 
the risk of his life, with a saddened and moist- 
ened eye, consigned it the next day to the 
grave, in an obscure place, within the limits 
of the city of Trenton. The writer of this ar- 
ticle was well acquainted with John K. Hays 
for forty years. He was a worthy descendant . 
of such a noble ancestry. Through his long 
life he maintained a reputation for strict hon- 
esty and sterling integrity; a most inteligent 
student of God's Word, and at the same time 
not neglectfiil of the solid and substantial lit- 
erature of ancient or modern times. He was 
a Presbyterian from conviction and education, 
and to the writer frequently, during his illness, 
expressed his fiill confidence in the finished 
righteousness of Christ as the sole foundation 
of his hope for a blessed immortality beyond 
the grave. He frequently rendered thanks to 
God for the mercies vouchsafed to him in ear- 
ly youth, for his pious ancestry, and above all, 
for the great love of his blessed and glorified 
Redeemer, whose rod and staff comforted him 
as he was about to enter the dark valley and 
shadow of death. 8. P. — Presbyterian, March 
Both, 1878.

William Kerr lived in Moore township, 
above Chapman's Quarries. His name appears 
in the list of taxables of Moore township in 
1780. See Reminiscences, p. 276. He was 
known as "Barren Billy" on account of the 
barrenness of the locality in which he lived, 
and to distinguish him from 3 William Kerr, 
son of the original James Kerr of the Settle- i 
ment. See Gen. p. 81. It seems this "Will- 
iam Kerr removed to Washington county, Pa., 
about 1796 — '98. His children were 2 James, 
8 David, 4 "William, 5 John, 6 Mary, and 7 
Jane. Of 2 James, 4 "William, and 5 John, 
we have learned nothing definite.

Lattimer. John Lattimer seems to have 
been the progenitor of the Irish Settlemeiit 
Lattimers. He died previous to August 18th, 
1781. His wife's name was 2 Elizabeth. As 
ascertained from documents extant, relative to 
the settling up of his estate, their children

were 3 Robert, 4 Arthur, 6 WHliam, and 6 
Jolin. Of 3 Robert and 4 Arthur we have 
spoken in the Genealogies. Of 5 William and 
6 John we have learned nothing. One inform- 
ant tells us that there were descendants of 4 
ArUiur Lattimer, some of whom, at least, 
were deaf mutes. 

From information received since the Gene- 
alogies were in print, we learn that Gen. No. 
4 William Lattimer, in the Robert Lattimer 
connection, married 2 Mary Ralston, instead 
of 3 Mary Walker; and that his brother, 4 
Gen. No. 5 James Lattimer married 5 Mary 
Ann Walker. See Ap. under Gen. No. 5 
James Lattimer. This we suppose is correct, 
and has for its support, in the absence of better 
testimony, the fact that one of Gen. No. 4 
William Lattimer's children bore the mother's 
family name, Ralston Monroe. See. 

A second informant says our first informant 
has erred in stating that Gen. No. 15 William 
Lattimer married 24 Mary Ralston, as stated 
in the Genealcgies. This 24 Mary Ralston 
should be put down as the wife of Gen. No. 4 
William Lattimer, father of Gen. No. 16 Will- 
iam Lattimer, instead of Mary Walker. Our 
second informant says that Gen. No. 15 Will- 
iam Lattimer married a German lady.

JAMES GRIER LONG. 

This honored elder of the Coatesville Pres- 
byterian church jw'as born March 5th, 1800, 
within the bounds of the Brandywine Manor 
congregation, Chester county, Pa., and died 
near Coates\T.lle March 2nd, 1878. He w^as 
the son of pious Presbyterian parents. His 
mother was the daughter of Rev. James Grier, 
pastor of Deep Run church, near Doylestown, 
Pa., a hundred years ago. His brother. Rev. 
J. F. Grier, D. I)., established a school of high 
order at Reading, Pa., and was the prime 
mover in the organization of the Presbyterian 
church of that city. Mr. Long's only brother. 



Appendix. 367 

William T. Long, was an elder in the Upper 
Octorara dmrch at the time of his death, and 
his only sister was the mother of Rev. Williain 
H. Templeton, who for many years has been 
an honored missionary in the West. All 
through life James G. Long often spoke of his 
mother, and always with great reverence, ten- 
derness, and sweet affection, as a woman of 
marked Christian character. The Christian 
life of our departed brother was in perfect ac- 
cord with that of his pious ancestry. At an 
early age he united with the church, and by 
his consistent walk and conversation adorned 
the gospel of God our Saviour. In early life 
he married Miss Maria H. Grier, sister of Rev. 
John H. Grier, of Jersey Shore, Pa., and of 
the mother of Rev. J. Grier Ralston, D. t)., of 
Norristown, Pa. [See Gen. p. 52 N'o. 12.] 
His life so commended itself to the people of 
the church in which he was born that at the 
age of thirty he was chosen to serve as one of 
its elders. Having removed into the bounds 
of the Upper Octorara church, he was again 
chosen, by its members, to the same office. 
He removed his membership to the Coatesville 
church April 6th, 1850, and served it as an 
elder, with acceptance, until the day of his 
death. By the faithful discharge of the duties 
of his office he honored the churches which so 
honored him. He was often a member of 



368 Ajj-pendix. 

Presbytery and Synod, and a commiBsioner to 
the Genreal Assembly of 1873. His last illness 
was of short duration. He was in his accus- 
tomed seat in the sanctuary on Sabbath, Feb- 
ruary 17th and served the bread and wine to 
his fellow-communicants at the Lord's table. 
It was his last visit to the house of God which 
he had loved so long and so well. Even then, 
though we knew it not, the Master was calling 
him to the marriage supper of the Lamb, 
where the song never ceases, the assembly 
never breaks up, and the benediction is never 
pronounced. After eight days' illness he fell 
asleep in Jesus, surrounded by his four sons 
and two daughters, all of whom are worthy 
members of the church, and one of whom. Rev. 
Thomas S. Long, is pastor of the First Pres- 
byterian church of Greenwich, 1^. J. He was 
a man of strong faith in Christ as his Saviour, 
affectionate and hospitable in his home, warm 
in his attachments to his friends, kind and 
gentle towards his neighbors, harmonious and 
pleasant in his official relations, and for his 
means, generous toward every good cause. 
Truly hath it been said, "The memory of the 
just is blessed." Presbyterian, April ISth, 1878.

ROBERT McDowell. 

Died, at Slatington, Lehigh county, Pa., 
August 24th, 1878, after a painful and length- 
ened illness, Robert McDowell in the sixty- 
eighth year of his age. 

}dr. McDowell was born in "Wigtown, Wigr 
tpnshire,, Scotland. After having spent a few 
years of early youth in business in England he 
crossed to America, landing June 21, 1833. 
He came at once to the Lehigh Valley, in the 
opening np of whose rich stores of slate his 
business life has been spent. He resided first 
at "Whitehall, subsequently near Bath, and 
since 1854 at Slatington. He united with the 
Allen Township Presbyterian church, near 
Bath, July 24, 1834, of which he was a trustee 
five years before removing to Slatington. At 
this time he started at Whitehall the first Sun- 
day-school in Lehigh county outside of Allen- 
town. He was married October 27, 1838, to 
Sarah E. Mulhallon, who with four daughters

and ono son, survive Mm. His death was the 
first break in the fkmily-circle. "With Sla- 
tington Mr. McDowell's history is most inti- 
mately connected. In 1851 the Presbyterian 
church, was oi^nized through his instrumen- 
tality, and he was an elder in it from that time 
until his death. To this church he gave his 
means, his labors, his love abundantly. He 
organized the Sabbath-school of the Presb^^te- 
rian church in 1856, and was its Superintend- 
ent and a Bible class teacher in it until his 
deaths In his will he requested his children 
to contribute always toward the support of the 
ministry, and the causes of Home and Foreign 
Missions as much as they could each afford. 
As a lay member of the Presbytery of Lehigh, 
within whose bounds the church of Slatington 
is situated, he was respected highly and confi- 
ded in. He was one of its trustees at the time 
of his death. In- every enterprise of his rapid- 
ry-growing town he was prominent. Its va- 
rious positions of honor and trust were held 
fey him often for a period of years. 

A man of great energy in business, of ster- 
flng integrity, deep sympathy, a keen sense of 
humor, a home-man, a great lover of children, 
ever childlike ih his faith, he passed away 
peacefully to his Saviour, happy iu his strong 
hope, and surrounded by all his loved ones.

South Easton, Penn'a, where he resided frdm 
about 1830 to 1857, at which time he removed 
to Easton, where he risided until his death in 
1871. He was an elder in the Brainerd Pres- 
byterian church of Easton from its or^oiizBM 
tion in 1854, and paid one-half of the original 
cost of the church building, and contributed 
largely to its support. He wad for ihany

lEALgTON. In a record, dictated- by Judge 
James Rosebrugh, in 1839, it is said that the 
two daughters of 1 James Ralston — ^Aunts of 
•Judge Rosebrugh — were Letitia and Jane, in- 
stead of Mary and Jane, as given by our in- 
formant. See Gen. p. 117. 

This record further states that "Letitia Ral- 
ston married Capt. Benjamin Wallace, who was 
taken prisoner with Gen'l Brown by the Brit- 
ish at Long Island, in the Revolutionary War." 

From this record also, we learn that the 
original James Ralston's wife's name was 
Mary Cummock. See Rem. p. 313. 

A second informant tells us that Gen. No. 
24 Mary Ralston married Gen. No. 4 William 
Lattirner, instead of Gen. No. 15 William Lat- 
timer, as stated in the Genealogies. See Ap.

HAYS. 

The following sketch has been furnished 
by J. Walker Hays Esq., of Williamsport;' 
Penn'a, and will be found to correspond essen^' 
tially with the genealogy of the family as' 
already inserted. — Author. 

The Hays Family. 

John and Jane Hays, the first of the fam-* * 
ily in America, emigrated from West Donegaly^ 
in Ireland, and settled in Northampton eoun-'-^ 
ty. Pa., in what has since been called th^' 
Irish Settlement, in A. D. 1732, where he en- 
gaged in tanning, storekeeping, &c. He died 
November 16th, 1789, and is buried in the old" 
burying-ground connected with the Presbyt^ 
rian church near "Weaversville. His widotv'' 
died at Derry, in Northumberland county, Pa., 
in 1806, at the age of ninety-four, and is 
buried at that place. They had five sons; 



388 Addenda. 

John, William, Robert, James, and Francis; 
and four daughters ; Jane, Isabella, Mary, and 
Elizabeth. 

All the sons, except William, (who died 
young and is buried by the side of his father) 
served in the Revolution arj^ war. Two of 
them are said to have been with the party left 
to keep up the camp iires near Trenton when 
Washington surprised the British at Princeton. 

John, the eldest son, was the only one who 
remained in the "Settlement." fie raised 
and commanded a company from there, and 
marched with it to Philadelphia in December, 
1776, from which circumstance he derived his 
title of Captain. We will speak of him here- 
after. 

The war over, the ^iraily separated. Rob- 
ert, the second son, (William being dead) 
removed to Northumberland county, settling 
first near Warrior Run church, then removing 
to Derry, and afterwards to the farm in Dela^ 
ware township, where his son Joseph lately 
resided. By some means his (Robert's) de- 
seendants have inserted an "e" in the'namci, 
^vilich is clearly wrong, comparing it with the 
signature of the first John Hays in America 
nowiiii the possession of the family.

oldest daughter marri<3d Hugh Horner of the 
"Settlement." John went west with the oth- 
er two daughters, and Br. ^Charles H., the 
other son, located at Cherry ville. 

Captain John Hays was again married, Aug; -

ber 15th, 1825. They had six sons and foua?! 
daughters:- to wit, Ann, William, I&abella^ 
Kobert, Thomas, Richard, Samuel, Mary, Jo- 
sepli, and Rebecca. Of the sons, William, the 
iir.-t born, settled in Pittsburgh and engaged

1843, leaving two sons, Willi&mr^now of

Clark county, Missouri, and one daughter, 
Ellen, who died single. 

Thomas, the third soa, (grandfather of th6

writer of this sketch) settled iu Williamsport, 
Fa. — engaged iu the manufacture of hats, and 
filled the various offices of' Sheriff, Prothono- 
tary, Treasurer, Register, and Recorder of L}?^-

late Judge Houston, and died in December, 
1846, leaving three sons ; Thomas, William,

and died Oct. 8th, 1856, leaving one son, J. 
Ralston ; and three daughters, Jane, Marian, 
and Isabella. 

Samuel, the fifth son, located in Erie, Pa. — 
engaged in tanning (which seems to be a, fam-

three daughtefs, Jane, Catharine, and Maria. '

single and died in the Settlement— Rebecca;

After the war, Captain Hays resided in the 
.Settlement and engaged in milling, tanning,, 
farming &c., until 1796. About this time the; 
Moravians wished to exchange a large body of 
land which they owned in what is now Craw- 
ford county, for the property on which he 
resided, and he wishing a property large 
enough to locate his large family near each 
other, undertook, in company with. his sou 
William, the journey on horseback to exarn- 
ine the pro[)erty. While engaged in that, he 
became overheated and drinking too much 
spring water, he sickened and died at Mead- 
ville. Pa., Nov. 3rd, 1796, at sixty-six years of 
age. From this date, the date of th^;:^^^Yfirl; 



of the family in America is fixed at 1782, 
since he was two years old at that time. 

John, the oldest son of Captain John by his 
first wife, Barbara King (grandfather of the 
writer on his father's side), married Jane, the 
youngest daughter of James Horner of the 
Settlement, May 21st, 179^. He soon after- 
wards purchased a tract of land from his father, 
lying on the west side of Lycomiijg creek, sit- 
uated in the then "new purclfuse" from the 
Indians. This laud was then under wliat was' 
called an improvement lease. lilxpecting to 
huy out the tenant, they nn>ved by wagon 
from the Settlement, and arrived on the land 
in September, 1795. Failing to purchase the 
lease, they drove their wagon to the north-east 
corner of the tract — ^then in woods and heavy 
timbered — and began to make a home for 
themselves. They slept in their wagon till 
they cleared some land and built a cabin, when 
they changed their quarters for it, and clear- 
ing more land, sowed some wheat and the 
following harvest reaped twenty-five bushels. 
In this cabin, on January 15th, 1797, John K. 
Hays (my father) was born, and as articles of 
luxury or even of comfort were not plenty — 
it being diflicult to obtain them — the only 
cradle he ever ht^fd 'was k' |^iigtir-trough ' that . 
had done service in catching sap from some of 
t^ maple trees in the vicinity. Soon the ten-

. -v, , / .^ ■ ,- ■.•t\^<T\'\ "i ' (id . -f'^ 

ant, failing to comply witn the terms of the 

lease, was glad' to compromiBe, and gave up 

the possession of the property. The cabin 

was then deserted, the family moving into a 

house standing near the cehtre of the' land, 

and on the great road leading from the West 

Branch to Western JSTew York and Canada, 

Avhither many emigrants' were by "{nis time 

going, thus affording a ready niarket'ior the 

surplus produce of the farm. During the 

year 17,97 they built a suwmill '<in Beauties 

Ru!i on the Vvestern part of the farm, and in 

TS06 erected a large stone dwelling-house, the 

jirst ot the kind in the "late purchase." 

In the fall of 1807, my grandfather, John 
Hays, was elected Sheriff of Lycoming county, 
w-hich then comprised Bradford, Tioga, Potter, 
McKean, Clinton, Sullivan, and part of Clear- 
tield. In 1817 he w^as elected aii elder in the" 
Presbyterian church at Newberry. He resi- 
ded on the fVirm iintil his death, >\'hich occur- 
red October 9th, 1821, leaving one child, John 
K. His widow died September 23rd, 1824. 

John K. Hays t'eceived the best educational 
advantages afforded at that time, his father in- 
tending he should ent6r professional life. But. 
changing his mind, brought him back from 
school at Ecading, Pa., and kept him on the 
farm. On March Ist, 1827, he. married Jane, 
the oldest daughter of Thomas Hajs, his fatli- 



m% Jfl^ch4a. 



ei^s half brother. She died Nov. 6th, 1830, 
leaving two children, Jane Elizabeth, (married 
to Hugh R. Horner of the Settlement, and 
having four children, Robert H., Mary J. 
John K.y and Joseph); and John Walker. ,. 
* 'May 3l8t, 1832, John K. Hays married Jiis, 
second wife, Martha, daugliter of John and 
Jane Orier of Brandywine Manor. The fam- 
ily continued to reside on the farm until 
March 1842, wiien. they rented it and uiovcd 
to Williamsport on account of better educa- 
tional iacilities. Martlia, the second wife, 
di^d' April 8th, 1867, leaving three children, 
James G., Martha Ann, and flenrietta. 
James G. (who married and has two chil- 
dren) and Henrietta are now living in 
"Williamsport. Martha A. married W. H. 
Phillips — resided in Williamsport a few years 
and then moved to Milton and died there. 

September 24th, 1868, John K. Hays was 
married to his third wife, Mrs. Jane H. Teas, 
of Sunbury, Pa., a cousin and also a brides- 
maid of his first wife. They resided in 
Williamsport in the old home until Novem- 
ber 25th, 1875, wiien it pleased Providence 
to reniove her tp the mansions prepared for 
those who love him. 

' John K. Haj'S lived after his last wife's 
death for over tw*^. years, y,ttended and 
Wiuted joxx in (his declining years by his 



youngest daughter, JTIehrietta E., until Maroh' 
11th, 1878, Avhen the Master called him at the^ 
ripe old age' of eighty-one years." He died in^ 
peace, retaining the exei'cise of >hi8. faculties fa 
the last, and in the fulThope of a blessed itct-i 
nun-tality beyond the grave. His oldest son,' 
Johni AV., was married May .ITthv 1855, to Ra*' 
chel, daughter of Charles Allen of Armstrong" 
township, Lycoming county, and resides in 
Williamsport. They have had four children, 
but p,i;ily two are living, and they bear the. old 
familv names of, John K., and Jane. / ,.r -. 

It niay be seen from the foregoing that the 
oldest son in each generation was named 
/ohn, making six Johns in ' direct lineal de- 
scent in the family. The family has become' 
considerably scattered and is very large, hav- 
ing a great number of collateral kindred.

Moore Township Kerr or Carr Family. 

From a letter written Dec. 21st, 1878, by 
Mrs. Mary D. Co wen, of Frankfort Springy, 
Beaver Co., Fa., we learn further of the Moore 
townsliip Kerr or Carr family. Mrs. Cov/en 
was the only daughter of 7 Jane Carr. See 
Ap. p. 362. and Add. 383. 

It seems the first of this family in America 
were David and Elizabeth. This first David, 
. »r Elizabeth, had at least two sisters. One the 
grand-children called Aunt Peggy Armstrong. 
8]ie may have been the wife of Thomas Arm- 
strong. See Gen. p. 12. The other they 
called Aunt Jennie Horner. It seems she 
was| the wife of Janjcs ilt>rner and was killed 
h^' the Indians. See Gen. p. 66. 

T^he children of the first David and Eliza- 
beth Carr were William, Jennie, Margaret, 
Mary, and Elizabeth. William is the one 
spoken of in Ap. p. 362, and Add. p. 383. 
Mrs. Cowen says his daughters' names were 6 
Elizabeth (instead of Mary), and Jane, (1 r r 
mother.) 

Of this William Carr's sisters, Mrs. 0;(jv\..,,^ 
says : — 

Jennie married Orr; 

Margaret married — ^ l^'icCarty ; 

Mary mnrriod • '^•■"•■- ..
